:ast lie emphasized that this
iiJ not mean that a settlement
?cn achieved or iliat economic
jqs against Rhodesia were
to be lifted. He believed his
s would create the right
aherc for the holdiug oF the
iutional conference,
said the Rhodesian Govern-
took the bold initiative of
ng detained black leaders to
Lusaka for discussions with
ent Katin da and his col-
•-S.

tacts also took place between
my and Lusaka but last week-
t became clear that serious
titles had arisen. The
lges continued this week and
Uties had been resolved.

Mr Smith continued: “In
particular, firstly 1 have received
assurances to the effect that
terrorist activities in Rbodesia will
cease immediately and, secondly,
that the proposed constitutional
conference will take place without
any pre-condition.

“ Accordingly I have agreed to
release the African leaders from
detention and restriction and their
followers as well. They will be per¬
mitted to engage in normal activity
in terms of the laws applicable to
Rhodesians. I am taking this action
on the first understanding that
everyone concerned will conduct
themselves peacefully and within
the law. This will, I believe, create
the right atmosphere for the hold¬
ing of a constitutional conference.’’

Mr Smith said that no doubt some
people would feel concerned at the
implications of these developments
and in the light of events in the past
decade this was understandable.
However, it was his Government’s
firm Intention to maintain law and
order and not to deviate from
Rhodesia’s standards of civilization.

It was a fallacy, he said, to think
that the situation in Rhodesia today
was comparable with that which
existed in Mozambique before the
coup in Portugal la-:*

The Rhodesian leader gave a warn¬
ing that although lu had accepted in
good faith the undertaking that acts
of terrorism would cease imme¬
diately It might take some time for
this to be fully effective.

Referring to sanctions, he said it
was of the greatest importance that
commercial secrets should continue
to be safeguarded.

Later Sir Roy Welensky. former
Prime Minister of the Federation of
Rhodesia and Nyasaland, commen¬
ded Mr Smith's statement as
“ realisric **. Mr Patrick Basil ford,
leader of the Centre Party, described
it as the best Christmas present
Rhodesians of all races could have.

But Mr Leo Idensuhn, leader of
the right-wing Riiodesia National
Party, said the decision was a “ com¬
plete betrayal of the white man ”.
Mr Smitb now had just one question
to answer : “ When do the terrorists
take over ? ”

Our Lusaka Correspondent writes :
Mr Smith’s statement was broadcast
live on Zambian radio and television
—the first time such a thing has
happened.

Ail announcement from President
Kaunda's office said the Rhodesian
African leaders, in Lusaka for the
recent talks, would be returning
home tomorrow.

Our Cape Town Correspondent
writes: Mr Vorster. the Prime
Minister, promised to withdraw
South African paramilitary police

confirmed that terrorism had ended.
The white and black people of
Rhodesia, he said, must now be left

Reynolds’s
Sterne
offered to
nation

By Philip. Howard

TJje superb portrait of
Laurence Sterne by Sir Joshua
Reynolds is being offered to
the- National Portrait Gallery.

It shows the great master of.
English humour; on whose Ups
whimsy, paradox, and digression
hung as cornflakes .bang on
other men’s lips, sitting with ’
sardonic head propped on hand
with forefinger raised to catch
a red herring.

It was painted in 1750. at the
height of Sterne’s sudden fame
after the pubUcation of the first
instalment of Tristram Shandy.
The book was the talk of
London, and Sterne was three-
weeks deep in dinner engage¬
ments. Garrick and Hogarth
befriended him, and arranged
for the portrait of the man of
the hour to be painted by the
artist of the day.

Sterne, exhausted by being
lionized, dropped his head into
his band, for the sittings, and
shifted his wig slightly awry, as
he did when writing.

The artist took no fee for his
work, which was sold for 500
guineas in 1840 to Lord Lans-
downe. and was until recently
part of the great Lansdowne
collection. It is now being
offered to the nation fur
£50,000.

Mr Kenneth Monkman,
honorary secretary of the
Laurence Sterne Trust, based

ip- Sterne's rambling bid ■ rec¬
tory at Coxwold, Yorkshire,
said yesterday“Ir is a mar¬
vellous bargain. Not only is it
Reynuld’s finest work, but it is
the most vivid, living, speaking
portrait of any. of the great
English novelists before photo¬
graphy was invented.”

The National Portrait Gallery
cannot raise the raouey on its
own, .considering it irrespon¬
sible .and detrimental 10 the
public interest to mortgage in
advance future years’ purchase
grunts. It is therefore about
to launch . an appeal for most
of the money.

The demand for restoration
of the death penalty for ter¬
rorist murders was defeated in
rhe Commons last night by 36b
\otes lo 217. a majority of 152.

Early in the debate there
were iigiv, ilui many \IPs were
si ill navering and that some
were having second thoughts,
after the early emotional reac¬
tion to tile Birmingham bomb¬
ings.

Not since 1969, when the sub
standee decision was taken to
abolish she death penalty, lias
the House debated the' issue
under <».irh pressure from out¬
side opinion. In spire of that.
Mr Brian Walden, Labour MP
for Birmingham. Lady-wood,
opened the debate with a cour¬
ageous rebuttal of the case for
restoration of capital punish¬
ment.

Moving a motion declaring
that the death penalty would
titiilher deter terrorists nor
increase the safety of the public,
Mr Walden said the House
should speak out dearly and set
at rest aJJ speculation about its
intentions.

The greatest deterrent against
political terrorism was the same
as that against any crime ; the
probability of apprehension. The
recent widespread arrests would
do more to reassure the public
than any scaffold they might
build, Mr Walden said.

Ir mattered not one jot
whether one hauged the terror¬
ist murderer, executed him by
firing squad, put hint in an elec¬
tric chair or gave him a lethal
injection; one could not paint
or varnisn over a judicial execu¬
tion to make it appear other
than what it was, a cold-blooded
act of die state to take a life.

Public opinion, Mr Walden
conceded, must be a matter of
grave concern fur MPs but no

member should surrender to
his constituents his judgment
simply because lie feared that
the expression of bis convictions
might prove unpopular outside
the House.

TIiosl- who voted against ’the
death pLMiahy would be putting
sense and reason above passion.
They would be acting in the
interests of a victory not pur¬
chased at an unacceptable price,
a victory not simply fur uui-
policies but fur nur values with¬
out which policies were mean¬
ingless.

With a free vote un both sides
of the House and every MP
speaking for himself. Sir'Keith
Joseph, shadow Home Secre¬
tary. v;as the first to speak from
either front bench. Declaring
himself ax having previously
been against capital punishment
for murder, he said terrorism
was a different matter- War had
been declared un us, and the
alternative to winning was >o
Jose and 10 expose our people
to greater horrors.

Mr Lcn Abse, Labour Ml’ for
Poiuypoul. said that far frum
the death penalty being a deter¬
rent. it was in many cases a
positive attraction. The IRA
wanted a world audience as they
staged their psychopathic
theatre.

From the Liberal benches. Air
Hooson said restoration of the
death penalty for termrism
would be doing more harm than
good to the state.-

An amendment urging the
death penalty for acts of ter¬
rorism causing death was moved
bv Mrs Jill Knight. Conservative
MP for Birmingham, Edgbaston.
She said that terrorist*; had de¬
clared war on the country and
were carrying out indiscriminate
murder on innocent, harmless
and uuarmed people. Appease¬
ment represented surrender to
those people.

Shots fired after West
End club bombing

Three taxi drivers chased
two men through the West Eiid
of London last night, after a
bomb-was tossed into the Naval
and Military Club in Piccadilly.

Their cabs were struck by
bullets from a pistol as the
bombers-fled. One -cab had a
window smashed, land, -another
bad its radiator punctured.

A parked van was hit as well.
But . the cabbies kept up their
chase until the men disap¬
peared among the crowds.

One of the three drivers, who
refused to give his uame, said he
saw the bomb hurled through a
window of the club.

“ I was going along Piccadilly
when it happened, and had to
stop because of the traffic.” He
said, “ I saw one of them throw
something into the club. They
looked like a couple of kids
messing about, and walked on a
few yards and stopped. Sud¬
denly we heard the explosion
and we guesed what had
happened.”

Three cabs, one in front of
him and one behind, chased the
men into Half Moon Street,
where the shots were fired, then
lost them in Curzon Street.

The driver, aged about 35,

Scotland Yard said it was

not the charge, exploded.

One taxi driver later went to

he added. " Leave it to the

This raises the point or why
Signor de Filippu was so happy
with ihe London production of
the play which was also direc¬
ted by Signur Zeffirelli and has
enjoyed a solid year of success.

In un interview mrkiv' he
made do secret of ihe fact that
he was in favour of transferring
the London production, .done
originally for the National, to
New York. But the National

and tie could du nothing more
than express his disagreement.

“Now the National will
suffer a big financial loss
because after a Broadway
failure, a film of the same play
is almost our of the question,
and so the National will lose
the 40 per cent share which
they would have had front the

It was ar first a comfort to

Future of social contract depends on miners

By Paul Routledge
Labour Editor

The future of the social con¬
tract bangs in the balance today.
It rests on slender hopes that
miners’ leaders will not endorse
their negotiators’ militant pay
ambitions.

The executive of the National
Union of Mineworkers will dis¬
cuss'the recommendation of the
negotiating team that the coal
board should be asked for an
increase of £30 a week acro>s
the board for 270,000 miners,
payable in two stages.

Miners were warned yesterday
not to count on the backing of
the Labour movement if they
pushed their claim outside the
terms of the social contract.

Left-wing coalfield leaders
will be undeterred by the appeal
from Mr Len Murray, general

nay demaaid they will get the
backing of their traditional
allies, the train drivers.

That became dear last night
when Mr Ray Buckton, general
secretary of. the Associated
Society'of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen (Aslof), which
abstained on rhe critical vote
about wage restraint at the
Trades Union Congress three
months ago, promised .that fooc-
platemen would not cross official
NUM picket lines -in the event
of a pit-pay dispute.

A deeply political clash is. in¬
evitable at this-morning's meet¬
ing of the mineworkers’ execu¬
tive because the 27 members are
being Invited to endorse die
left-wing’s pay -aspirations. The
negotiating committee adopted

action in support of a militant claim took up much of the dis-

of the TU(5 economic commit¬
tee. Mr Murray argued after¬
wards that the NUM should
stick to the voluntary wage
restraint guidelines the union
supported only a short while
ago. If they did uot. they could
not count on Tl'C support.

“ We expect collective bar¬
gainers to act responsibly ”, he
said. “ That means having
regard to rhe guidelines in the
social conn-act. -

“It is still for the national
executive of the miners’ union
ro consider this, and we hope
they will have very much in
mind the request put clearly to
their negotiators that they
should lake full account of the
possible consequences of their
claim and eventual settlement
on working people, trade union¬
ists and the economy as a
whole.

“Just as the movement
rallied to die support of the
miners in 1972 and 1974, it is
reasonable 10 look to the
miners, as historically we have

always been able to do. to sup¬
port the objectives which the
movement as a whole has deter¬
mined arc proper in -the
circumstances."

The heart of mining trade
unionism had always been
loyalty, and the miners were in
the lead at the congress in re¬
cognizing the need for responsi¬
bility.

Unfortunately the miners’
delegation to the TUC was split
over the social contract. Left¬
wingers who arc making the
running have consistently re¬
fused to have any truck with
wage ‘restraint. In that view
-Lliey are joined by" Aslcf, and
that traditional hood has been
a more potent factor in the
miners’ previous successes than
the TUC’s diplomatic backing.

Even if the militant coal-
fields resort to unofficial action,
it is likely that the train drivers
will refuse 10 cross their picket
lines. The TUC’s warnings have
to be seen in that light.

Three old age pensioners
were buried io rubble as an
electrical storru wrecked their
home yesterday. Mr Harry
Wilcock. aged 73„ suffered
shock and minor injuries and
was taken to hospital when the
roof of the house in Cecelia
Road, Ramsgate, Kent, caved in
after being struck by lightning.

His wife. May, and Mrs Eliza¬
beth Alexander, a widow, both
in their seventies, escaped
injury.

The storm blacked oui Mar¬
gate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs.
It left a trail of damage in
southern counties.

The high wind picked up a
150-ton Boeing 707 at Heathrow
airport, London, and threw it
against a 747 jumbo jet parked
near by. An official said both
suffered severe damage.

One-day general strike in support of
jailed Basques cripples north Spain

Frum Harry Debelius
Madrid, Dec 11

Underground trade union and
other left-wing organizations in
the Basque region of northern
Spain showed their strength
today with a general strike in
support of a demand for
amnesty for political prisoners
which brought out about 200,000
persons in three provinces.

. It was probably the biggest
demonstration of Basque solid¬
arity on a political issue in die
history of the Franco regime.
Not even during the Burgos trial
of Basque activists io 1970 did
the people of the Basque
country back so solidly a politi¬
cal demonstration.

For the first- time the out¬
lawed separatist organization
ETA and the illegal Spanish
Socialist Parly joined forces in
the action against the Franco
regime, but according to reliable

Party gave only half-hearted
support to the protest.

A number of communist-
influenced underground trade
unions played an important role
in the strike*

The “ Day of Struggle ”. or
Day of Bosque unity ” as it
was called in various clandestine
leaflets, also resulted in the clos¬
ing of most schools in Bilbao,
San Sebastian and other Basque
towns, as well as of countless
small businesses

Demonstrations accompanied
the strike in Bilbao, San Sebas¬
tion. llernani Esrella nnd other
places. At least one man was
shot in Hernani, near San
Sebastian, in a violent dash be.
tween workers and rioi police.
No information was immediately
available about the number of
injured or arrested.

While leaflets listed several
motives for this one-day Basque

rising cost of living, all the leaf¬
lets backed the call for amnesty
for political prisoners. Some 158
Basque political prisoners in 10
Spanish jails are now on hunger
strike, which began late last
nionth in a demand for an
amnestv.

Police^ reinforcements began
moving into the Basque country
days ago and were sti/1 arriv¬
ing today. Police guards were
posted on public transport
vehicles yesterday. Round-ups
of known political activists
began a week or more ago when
police apparently got wind of
the general strike plans.

Shopkeepers were threatened
with fines if they closed down
during today’s strike. Some
small businessmen therefore
opted for a middle course, stay¬
ing open for business but with
lights off and shutters half
drawn to show their solidarity

Disruption of Fleet Street
papers ordered after
last-minute peace talks fail

THE TIMES THURSDAY DECEMBER 12 1974

By Alan Hamilton
Labour Staff

Disruption of national sews*
paper publication by key print*
ing workers is to go ahead after
the failure of last-minute peace
talks between the National
Graphical Association and the
newspaper publishers yesterday.

The NGA, which represents
5,000 skilled printers in the
London and Manchester offices
of national papers, and in the
two London evenings, has
stopped short of calling an all-
out strike. Instead it has ordered
a campaign of disruptive action.
Different newspapers would be
affected on different nights.

The union is taking the action
in pursuit of an improved pay
offer from the Newspaper Pub¬
lishers Association. The pub¬
lishers’ offer of a 5 per cent
increase from October, plus
another 2 per cent from next
April, has been accepted by the
other five unions represented
in newspaper printing houses.
But the NGA argues that to
accept the same offer would
disturb traditional differentials
by up to 40p a week.

Mr Joseph Wade, a deputy
general secretary of the NGA,
said after meeting the publishers
yesterday: “ We are all set now
to press the button for action
immediately. Instructions have
already been sent our to our
members; we are better organ¬
ized this time than before.'’

Last week the NGA agreed to
delay its action for a week to
allow the publishers to make
approaches to the TUC. Lord
Goodman the publishers 1 chair¬
man, had a meeting with Mr
Len Murray, TUC general secre¬
tary, on Tuesday, at which be

gave a warning of die danger to
employment of other Fleet
Streetworkers should the NGA
action go ahead.

On previous occasions Lord
Goodman has stated that if
publication of national papers
was interrupted by NGA action
some papers might never
reappear.

In a reply to Lore Goodman
yesterday Mr Murray made
clear that he could not inter¬
vene in the dispute, although he
expressed the hope that the
NGA would fee] able to settle
on the same terras as the other

After meeting Mr Wade and
Mr John Bonfield, the NGA
general secretary, yesterday,
the NPA issued a statement
saying that it was still unable
to meet the NGA’s demand for
maintenance of differentials.

The statement said that the
differential question affected
only a minority of NGA mem¬
bers involved in the pay rTnim t
but any adjustment, however
small, would disturb the agree¬
ment with the other unions. It
added;

The NPA would wish the public to
be aware that they regard it as
wholly irresponsible for any

industrial action to be tafcen
against the national newspaper
industry as a result of a dispute of
this character. It is the NPA's
belief that it has exhausted every
channel of conciliation, haring
already approached the concilia¬
tion .service set up by the Govern¬
ment.

The statement added that
NGA members involved in the
dispute -now earn between £75
and £95 a week.

The first newspaper to be
affected yesterday' was the
London Evening News. A work-
to-rule by some members of the
NGA there caused production
delays, and van drivers stopped
work to hold a meeting because
they alleged that the delay was
affecting overtime earnings.

Mr Howard French, editorial
director of the Evening News,
said the trouble started with an
unofficial go-slow by composing
room staff.

Aims of Industry criticizes unions

The Fleet Street newspaper
industry is technologically
backward and overstaffed with
the highest-paid workers in the
country. Aims of Industry says
in evidence to the Royal Com¬
mission on the Press.

The main reason, the
organization says, are a placa¬
tory management and militant
unions willing and able to
exploit their strength. It was
striking that so many news¬
papers had managed to sur¬
vive.

Aims of Industry calls for a
reorganization of practices and
production techniques in the
industry to prevent more news¬
papers from closing. News¬
papers should cost more,
advertising rates should rise,
and there should be greater
encouragement for more
regional daily newspapers.

A stand must be made
against attacks on press free¬
dom, primarily the threat to
freedom of expression through
censorship of editorial and
advertising content. Cases of

newspaper tmployees bringing
pressure against cartoons,
comment and advertisementn,
some of them Aims of
Industry’s, are referred to in
the evidence.

The organization says: “ We
believe that these instances
represent a frightening attack
on the press’s freedom and
should concern everyone.”

thalidomide
article ’

The Sunday Times should be
allowed to publish an article on
the Distillers’ Company’s alleged
liability for thalidomide, even
though to do so might be break¬
ing the law. Mr Jack Ashley,
Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent,
South, said yesterday in a letter
to the Attorney General.

“An injunction was granted
preventing The Sunday Times
from publishing, but as the Phil-
limore committee recommenda¬
tions repudiate the basis of that
judgment I hope you will take
immediate action in this case”,
the letter said.

The Phillimore _ committee,
which proposes clarification and
liberalizing of the law of con¬
tempt, was of profound signifi¬
cance to the British press, Mr
Ashley said. He urged Mr Silitin
not to await legislation and not
to oppose publication of the
article.

Signalmen urged
to call off
unofficial strike

Mr Richard Marsh, chairman
of the Railways Board, yester¬
day appealed to signalmen not I
to halt trains in Essex and Kent
today.

He acknowledged that recent
pay reorganization had upset
the signalmen and could have
altered individual pay differ¬
entials. But top signalmen were
within the highest paid range
and the average weekly earnings
of the lowest grade, including
weekend pay and overtime, had
increased by 27 per cent, to £56,
he said.

The signalmen say they were
unfairly treated by an agree¬
ment accepted recently by the
rail unions. They were due to
strike unofficially far 24 hours
from six o’clock this morning.
Trains to Liverpool Street and
Fenchurch Street, and some in
Kent would be affected. Mr
Marsh said the men were
causing unnecessary disruption
and inconvenience. He added:

“ Both the management and the
National Union of Railwavmen
appeal to them to discontinue
their action and honour the

Hanging is bad politically and
morally, criminologist says

By Peter Evens
Home Affairs Correspondent
Kein trod action of capital pun¬
ishment would be a national
disaster. Sir Leon Radzinowicz,
one of the world’s foremost
criminologists and a former
member of the Royal Commis¬
sion on Capital Punishment,
said yesterday, before the Com¬
mons vote on hang ing.

He said: “ It would be bad
psychologically, morally and
politically; bad for the inter¬
national reputation of Britain;
bad for the cohesivenss and
traditions of society; and bad
I for the effective solution of the
I Irish question.’*

I Sir Leon was speaking in an
interview on the eve of a recep¬
tion, to be held tonight, by Lord
Butler of Saffron Walden'in the
House of Lords, to mark the

publication of a volume of

essays on criminology in honour
of Sir Leon.'

The contributors include pro¬
fessors from Britain, the United
S tates , Italy, Poland, Denmark,
Germany and Norway; judges
from Britain, France and South
Africa; and Sir Leon’s former
colleagues, students and warin g
fellows at Cambridge. Sir Leon
retired recently as Wolfcon
Professor Director of the Cam¬
bridge Institute of Criminology.

Lord Butler, who writes m
the essays about the founding
of the institute, as Home Secre¬
tary provided the impetus that
helped to make it possible. The
I title of the volume. Crime,
Cnmmology and Public PoEcu,
reflects the impact both of the
institute's studies and Sir Leon’s
career.

It is far from finished. Sir
Leon is engaged on an extensive
programme of teaching in
American law schools, and is
travelling the world as a con¬
sultant.

Sir Leon sees the growth of
terrorist violence as feeding
other kinds of violent crime. He
said_: “If you have a sorietv
passing through intense political
strife, with violence connected
with it, you will have violence
connected with crime in uncon¬
scious articulated ha r mon y .

“If you have an emergency
system that lasts longer than
necessary, if it lasts a long
time, it must also affect the
whole system of criminal
justice. The moral tone of
society affects everything, both
criminal justice and the forms
of violence.

" Criminal law and ptmish-
ment have a limited effect. I
do not say they are useless. But

IRAthreat
of‘ two to

Sir Leon Radzinowicz: “ Excessive punishment, excessive effect.”

you cannot expect cr iminal law
to solve the moral and political
problems of society. Capital
punishment cannot solve the
Irish issue.

R If the criminal law goes too
far in respect of capital punish¬
ment, or any kind of excessive
punishment, it will produce an
excessive effect” Changes in
criminal procedure might well
accentuate political difficulties.
“ In the democracies, we must
look for a political solution to
political problems.”

But order had to be main¬
tained, he continued. There
must be a strong police force.

and the police must act within
tiie province of tbe law.

It was crucial to have a law
that was both strong and
moderate. Sir Leon said. “Get
rid of a lot of the prison sys¬
tem and keep it for the hard
core and make ft a civilized
affair.

“ We must get accustomed to
a very high level of violent
crime that is part of the high i
level of general crime. Crime
will continue to rise as far as
we can see.”

The Department of Energy has a new loan scheme for industry to
encourage the more efficient use of all forms of energy.

Short term loans up to £100,000 are available.

Examples of the type of energy saving project which qualify are:

# measures to reduce heat loss in industrial buildings

# replacement or renovation of machinery, plant and equipment

# introduction of new automatic control devices

0 installation of heat exchangers and pre-heaters to make use

of waste heat

# installation of combined heat and power schemes

Projects must promise sufficient energy savings to cover capital and
interest in four years.

The scheme is for industrial premises in Great Britain but does not apply to Northern Ireland.

From Arthur Osman
Birmingham

Kenneth Littlejohn, who
escaped from Mountjoy prison,
Dublin, nine': months ago, was
arrestai by . West Midlands
police in Birmingham yesterday.
I understand that detectives
surrounded a house in Alum
Rock and Mr Littlejohn surren¬
dered quietly.

Detective Chief Superinten¬
dent Harry -Robinson, head of
the CID, said-last night: “ Little¬
john has now been detained
following very extensive in¬
quiries extending over a period
of time. We have many other
inquiries to.make and we have
been in touch with Dublin
police.”

Asked when Mr Littlejohn
would be appearing before the
court Mr Robinson said: “ Cer¬
tain formalities will have to be j
gone through.”

It is understood that after the
raid on the house two other men
left with police officers and are
assisting inquiries. The police
are anxious to know how long
Mr Littlejohn has been in the
city.

Extradition warrant: The Dub¬
lin authorities said last night
that several Irish policemen
would go to Birmingham today
with an extradition warrant for
Mr Littlejohn (a Staff Reporter
writes). The bank robber and
self-confessed British agent
escaped on March 11 after serv¬
ing eight months of a 20-year
sentence for his part in the
robbery of £67,000 from Allied
Irish Banks in Dublin in Octo¬
ber, 1972.'

Mr Littlejohn’s brother,
Keith, who is serving 15 years
for his part in the robbery, is to
appeal next year against the dis¬
missal by the Dublin High Court
of, proceedings in which he
sought to have his sentence
quashed.

Christopher Walker writes: The
recapture will reopen contro¬
versy about the exact nature of
Mr Littlejohn’s involvements
with the British intelligence
services.'

. The Littlejohn affair has been
a continuing source of embar¬
rassment to the British Govern¬
ment. There is incontrovertible
evidence that he had connexions
with British intelligence, but it
has never been satisfactorily
established that he was paid to
act as an agent provocateur in
the Republic of Ireland.

Lucan nursemaid
inquest

The inquest on Mrs Sandra
Rivett, nursemaid to tbe chil¬
dren of Lord and Lady Lucan,
was adjourned until next
March yesterday by Dr Gavin
Thurston, the Westminster
coroner. No witnesses were
called.

At the previous hearing Mrs
Rivert, who was 29, was said
to have died from head injuries
in an incident at Lady Lucan’s
home ip Lower Belgrave Street,
Westminster. Two warrants
have been issued against Lord
Lucan, alleging that he mur¬
dered Mrs Rivett and attempted
to murder his wife.

Ten will go on getting the top jobs
p Britain for at least another
iventy years ? *statisticians say

PiU Healy
ial Services Correspondunt

leu will continue to com¬
ic! the top jobs in Britain
at least Lite next twenty
■s on - present trends, a
■rnmeut publication implies
iy.

i .spite of ebonies that bod
jfied tiie position of men
women in the home and at
%. their respective roles had
changed fundamentally.
ic point is made in an article
he new edition of Social
ids. which amounts to an
uent case for the Govern.
t*s proposed anri-discrimina-
legisia don. The article,
piled by the Central S tat is-
Office, points out that many
iative advances have been
s towards real equality’ be-
n men and women,
it it adds: “ Many differ-
s. however, still remain in
and administrative rights
in traditional attitudes
h keep women in a subordi-
role and which lead to
rent jwrtems of life only
ectly related to biological
rence. - ’

e attitudes began to be
ed in the home, were rein¬
'd in schools, and left most
ill equipped to find jobs
de a narrow range. Most
ren went to mixed schools,

(l still had different sub-
for boys and girls for
ns only partially reflected

in' school structure* and organ-
i/anon: .

Bbyir and girls took different
subjects and examinations at
school because of complex and
subtle social pressures and
expectations. Thus, although

girls generally achieved better
examination results than boys,
fewer stayed on beyond the
minimum leaving age and
markedly Fewer girls went on
to university.

The result, in spite of the
advances in-opening up educa¬
tional advantages for girls in
recent years, was that for everv
young woman with a degree
there were nearly four men.
Without positive discrimination
towards women, therefore, most
top jobs would continue to go
to men for the predictable
future.

“ In the 25-34 age group, who
towards the end of the century
will be assuming many of the
most responsible positions in
our society, only a little over
2 per cent of the women as
against 71 per cent of men have
university degrees or equiva¬
lent degrees.”

Another factor determining
how many women would be in
top jabs in 20 years’ time was
how long they interrupted their
jobs to look after their
children. Women in profes¬
sional jobs who stopped work¬
ing 'for a short time to have
children might not suffer
greatly. Bar the longer the gap,

tiie more difficult it would be
to pick up the threads later
and to adjust to a situation

where many male colleagues of
the same age liad been pro*
moted to senior jobs.

Many of the gaps between
men and women were narrow¬
ing, but the time that process
took meant that men- would
remain dominant for many
years yet. For example, the
Equal Pay Act had succeeded
in boosting women’s wages at
a faster rate than men’s over
the past three or four years.
But women's rates started at
such a low proportion of men's
that their actual pay still lagged
behind.

Differences in education aud
training, combined with
women's special role as child-
bearers, and at least under
presenr social conditions as
home-makers, tended to direct
women to die less skilled, less
responsible and hence lower-
paid jobs.

Atremprs to relate state pen¬
sions to earnings would simply
perpetuate into retirement the
finandai disadvantages of
women. Nearly ninety years
after women were first given
the legal right to own property,
only 34 per cent oE women,
compared with 59 per cent of
men owner wealth. The gap
between tbe two amounted to
£24,500m.

sincerity of such a declaration
by bringing in strengthened

blocks of 12 homes, built in the
late nineteenth century to
accommodate immigrants from
the Highlands and from Ire¬
land, are still structurally
sound. Unlike the _back-to-backs
of English industrial cities they
lend themselves readi*y to re¬
habilitation.

The Housing Corporation’s
Glasgow office is run by Mr
Raymond Young who undertook
a successful pilot project as a
postgraduate research student
at Strathclyde University. He
emphasizes the need to_ form
community-based associations
and to eschew compulsory pur¬
chase orders in favour of re¬
habilitation by agreement.

The council is to begin list¬
ing suitable areas in Tollcross,
GovanhilL and Linthouse next
month. The average rent for
a rehabilitated flat is expected
to rise from about £40 a year
to between £100 and £150.

Owner-occupiers will be asked
to pay up to £250 for improve¬
ments, for which they will get
both grams and council loans.
Both tenants and owner-occu¬
piers will be heavily subsidized
by the Housing Corporation,-
wbich expects to spend £l,000m
over the next eight years.

Saltmarsh is
one of
three new
reserves

By a Staff Reporter

One of the best surviving
examples of salunarsh in the
Thames estuary, which until
recently was threatened by com¬
mercial development, is to be
preserved os one of three new-
national nature reserves.

The reserve at Leigh-on-Sca,
Essex, covers more than 600
acres of Two Tree Island,
adjoining saltmarsh es, and a
large area of mudflats. The
mudflats provide an important
feeding ground for brent geese
together with more important
sites at Foulness and Maplin
Sands.

The second new reserve is on
tbe Lizard peninsula, Cornwall.
The conservancy council has
bought 103 acres of heath land on
Goonhilly Down. The emphasis
in the Lizard reserve will be
less on the preservation of wild¬
life and more on the area’s
plants.

The importance of the natural
history of the Lizard has been
recognized since John Ray, tbe
botanist, visited it in the late
seventeenth century. The heath-
land is the home of many rare
plants and vegetation is of an
almost Mediterranean variety.

The Lizard contains a large
area of unenclosed land where
the soil has been left almost
undisturbed and burial mounds
and hut circles art? evidence of
die 6,000 years of human occu¬
pation.

The third new reserve is it
Swan ton Novers, near Faken-
ham, Norfolk. It is an area of
147 acres of deciduous wood¬
land, which will remain the pri¬
vate property of Lord Hastings
and not be open to the public.

The council has announced
extensions to two existing
nature reserves. Two small
areas oF 58 and 23 acres have
been added to the Derbyshire
Dales reserve, bringing the
total acreage to almost 300.

The second extension is to
Lindisfarne National Nature
Reserve, Northumberland. An
additional 382 acres of rough
grazing, saltmarsh. sandy fore¬
shore and mudflats has been
leased extending it to 8,000
acres.

Writers’ group gives cold welcome to proposed
legislation to pay authors for books in libraries

Choice of schemes available in new year

By Our Arts Reporter

Legislation on public lending
rights will be introduced in the
new year, Mr Jenkiru, Under
Secretary of State, with respon¬
sibility for the arts, said yester¬
day.

The method of operation is
being discussed with authors’
organizations, public libraries
and local authorities, and will
he provided for in supplement¬
ary legislation to be enacted in
die summer. Details of schemes
for paying authors were scut in
a letter by Mr Jenkins last week
to those concerned.

Tony Geraghty writes: Mr
Jenkins agreed at a press con¬
ference vesrerday that public
lending nj_*u scheme might not
become effective for months, or
even years. He said : “ This
thing has been progressing for
about 25 years.”

Tbe proposed legislation
would contain two possible
schemes, he said. Which one
was used would be decided later
through statutory instrument. A
combination of both schemes
would" also be possible.

The two systems are :

To monitor the turnover of
authors' works through sample*
at 72 library counter., enabling a
calculation to be made of probable
total turnover;

Miss Brigid Brophy: challeng¬
ing Mr Jenkins.

To make a single payment to
writers of new books as they arc
purchased by libraries.

Authors represented in the
Writers’ Action Group, led by
Miss Brigid Brophy and Miss
Maureen Duffy, argue that the
second system is less accurate
and contains the obvious anom¬
aly that writers would rot be
rewarded for work already in
u..e. They also resent the
minister’s suggestion that if the
purchase-based scheme were

introduced, “a life's work of
800 pages justifies a higher pay¬
ment than an essay of 50 pages
and I propose therefore to base
payments on the published
price.”

The Writers’ Action Group
has invired Mr Jenkins to justify
his belief rhat Gone With the
U’imf (1.042 pages) is 23 times
more of “a life’s work” than
T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets (44
pages).

The real objection to the
author-favoured sampling

scheme, it seems, is the factor
ui error it contains based upon
a mer 72 sampling points- The
Department of Education cannot
reduce tbe error by increasing j
the sample, since that would
cost too much. The factor of
error would vary from plus or
minus 26 per cent on a pay¬
ment of £1. to plus or minus
4 per cent on a payment of
£ 1 . 000 .

Mr Jenkins said after his
press conference: “We can
not really expect Parliament to
carry legislation if tbe degree of
inaccuracy is a high one. There¬
fore 1 think we have to show
Parliament the degree of in¬
accuracy involved if we are to
introduce a loan-sampling rate.
There is no inaccuracy in a
purchase-based right."

Some approved heaters are
unsafe, says ‘Which?’

By a Staff Reporter

Cheap electric fires on the
market may still be dangerous
despite recent legislation in the
Consumer Protection Act
designed to improve safely,
according to Which ?, the Con¬
sumers’ Association magazine,
today.

Just over half the 21 new
fires tested might have caused
a fire because they were too
easy to knock over, aod almost
half were regarded as dangerous
because of the chances of
shock.

The magazine says that some

fires with the British Electrical
Approvals Board label are un¬
safe. They have passed earlier
BEAB rests but not newer and
more stringent ones. Tbe older
standards are allowed to persist
because manufacturers .are
allowed a changeover time.

“ Consumers have no way of
knowing from the BEAB appro¬
val mark that they are less safe
than fires approved to the latest
standards ", the magazine states.
Jt calls for Tighter procedures
to encourage makers to meet
uew safety standards more
quickly.

Tbe judge said he had no
discretion except to make ao
order in favour oE the commis¬

by six young squatters and a
child. It is a shop and base¬

which Is to be redeveloped.

Mr Charles Aldous, counsel
for the commissioners, said the

Houghton committee likely to
recommend 30 per cent
pay increases for teachers

By Tim Devlin

Education Correspondent

The Houghton committee of
inquiry into teachers' pay and
their professional structure is
likely to recommend very large
increases for teachers who make
teaching their career and for
head teachers.

The average increase for
Britain's 500,000 teachers is
likely to be about 30 per cent;
the same as that awarded last
.September to the nurses. It
will he backdated to May 24
and will cost about £400m. It
will be paid for out of a special
interim order on the rate-
support grant.

The committee of 10 is meet¬
ing almost every day to put the
final touches to the report,
which the members expect to
sign on Sunday night. It is
likely to be presented to Mr
Prentice, Secretary of State for
Education and Science and Mr
Ross, Secretary^ of State for
Scotland, on Tuesday.

The Department of Education
and Science mil publish the re¬
port as quickly as possible,
probably on Thursday or Friday-
next week.

The Houghton recommenda¬
tions will be subject to negoti¬
ation within the global sum of
£400m by the Burnham com¬
mittee, which negotiates
teachers’ salaries in England
and Wales, and by the Scottish
Teachers Salaries Committee.

The Houghton committee is
likely to recommend fairly mod¬
est increases for junior teach¬
ers, and a thorough overhaul of
the structure of the teaching
profession, the teachers' salary
structure, and graded posts. The

Rise in baby j
battering i
4 is linked to !
illegitimacy ’

By Our Medical Correspondent

The change in society? atti¬
tude to extramarital sexual
activity may be more important
than poverty or poor housing
in causing the present fre¬
quency of assaults on babies by
their parents, a psychiatrist
reports.

The assaults are closely
associated with both illegiti¬
macy and teenage parenthood
and the rise in those conditions
in the past two decades has
probably led to an increase in
child abuse, according to Dr
Selwyn Smith, lecturer in
psychiatry at Birmingham
University.

Dr Smith has been studying
the causes of assaults on babies
for several years and his latest
report, in the British Journal of
Psychiatiy , is based on inter¬
views with the parents of 134
battered children under the age
of five.

Compared with the parents of
other children admitted to
hospital as emergency cases, the
parents of battered children
were less often married. More
than two-thirds of the mothers
had become pregnant while
single, and a third of the
children were illegitimate. More
than half those mothers had
given birth to their first child
while still teenagers, compared
with the national average of 10
per cent.

He rejects suggestions that
better training for motherhood,
ready availability of contra¬
ceptives, and abortion on de¬
mand could be useful in
preventing child abuse.

What is needed, he suggests,
is a reversal of those attitudes
to sex and the family which
are responsible for increasing
rates of illegitimacy.

effect will be to widen the
salary gap between teachers at
different stages of their career,
and to induce them to stay in
the profession.

The pay of lecturers in poly¬
technics would be increased to
bring them more Into line with
rates for university dons. Head
teachers could expect increases
above 30 per cent.

The Houghton committee is
[ikely to recommend that head
teachers of the largest schools
earning £6,000 a year should
have their salaries raised to as
much as £9,000.

Teachers earning about
£1,650 would be brought up ro
about £1,800 a year. There will
be no separate report for Scot¬
tish teachers, who were hoping
for preferential treatment be¬
cause they say that they are
paid less than those south of
the border.

All teachers can expect fur¬
ther increases to be negotiated
by their appropriate salary com¬
mittees. The Houghton com¬
mittee was asked only to
examine teachers' pay as at May
24, 1974. Teachers’ "unions will
no doubt base higher claims on
cost-of-living increases since
then.

Tory campaign: The Conserva¬
tive Party launched a campaign
for research and action on edu¬
cation policy yesterday. Mr
Norman St John-Stevas, Oppo¬
sition spokesman on education,
said in London : “ By losing the
election in October, Conserva¬
tives have lost a battle but not
the educational war."

Mr William Shelton, vice-
chairman of the Conservatives’
parliamentary education com¬

mittee, will introduce a parents’
charter Bill in Parliament on
April 25.

It seeks to change the Educa¬
tion Act Of 1944, placing the
onus on local education authori¬
ties to take account of parents’
wishes when assigning children
to schools. It will also seek an
appellate tribunal for parents
who think they have been
hardly treated.

It would give parents and
teachers the right to be repre¬
sented on school boards and
managements and seeks to
encourage schools to set up
parent-teacher associations.

The party has also formed a
legal committee under Mr Leon
Brittan, MP for Cleveland and
Whitby, a barrister, to advise
local authorities and parents’
associations that wish to pre¬
serve grammar schools. Miss
Janet Fookes, MP for Plymouth,
Drake, is chairing a group in¬
vestigating standards of educa¬
tion and conduct at state schools.

Dr Keith Hampson, MP for
Ripon, is chairing a study group
into higher education to con¬
sider die future of students'
grants and numbers, and the
different functions of univer¬
sities 2 nd polytechnics.

Dr Rhodes Boysun, MP for
Brent, North, is to lead a study
into the system pioneered in
America of giving parents edu¬
cational vouchers to cover the
amount of money needed to
educate their children. That
would give them more freedom
to choose schools.

Dr Boyson will consider
whether it" would be practical to
pioneer such a scheme in
England.

people

John Auckland, who killed
two of his baby daughters in six
years, could take custody of his
remaining two children on re¬
lease from prison. Mr Derek
Clephan, legal adviser to Brans-
lev council, Yorkshire, said yes¬
terday.

Mr Auckland was jailed for
18 months in 196S for killing
one daughter aged nine weeks.
Last May, after his wife had
left him, social workers allowed
him custody of his three other
children. In July he battered
another daughter, aged 16
months, to death and was jailed
recently for five years for man¬
slaughter.

Mr Geoffrey Dunn social ser¬
vices director for Barnsley, said
yesterday that there were no
legal grounds to have prevented
Mr Auckland from looking after
his children.

A report of the council’s
inquiry into the case said:
“The decision not to apply for
care proceedings was a correct
one having regard to the facts
available to the social worker
and the area officer at the

time.’* The report blamed a
legal loopfaole which hampered
attempts to prevent such cases
from occurring.

Mr Clephan commented: “ As
the law stands now Auckland
could take custody of his
children after his release from
prison. But the council’s plan
to call for parental control to
be withdrawn in the event of
an offence against children
could have wide-reaching
effects,” he added.

“ If this was done it would be
little shorr of saying that any¬
one convicted of murder or
manslaughter of their children
would have to be sterilized. In
the case of John Auckland
there was no medical evidence
which would be required legally
to suggest that he would kill
again.”

The report said that Mr Auck¬
land’s record as a father had
been good and in 1972 he had
approached a medical social
worker complaining about his
wife’s inadequacies after his son
had been severely scalded by a
kettle

“But to use the system at
least two basic requirements are
involved: the ability to get to

capacity to travel considerable

Fewer than a quarter of pen¬

Group practices were effec¬

Complaints 4 failing to reach airlines 9

By Arthur Reed
Air Correspondent
Although about thirty million
air passengers passed through
Britain during 1973-74, only 181
complaints were made to the
Airline Users* Committee,
according to the committee’s
first report, published yester¬
day.

The committee, set up by the
Civil Aviation Authority in the
summer of 1973, regretted that
its existence was not widely

the British Airports Authority
for non-cooperation in drawing
attention to its work.

Danger of powerful forces
escaping from rule of law

By Our Legal Correspondent

Unless industrial relations
were governed within a legal
framework there would be “a
real risk of forces of great
power in our society escaping
from the rule of law alto¬
gether”, Lord Justice Scarman
said last night.

Giving the third of four
Hamlyn lectures iu London, he
said that if that happened there
would be a weakening of the
capacity of law ro impose
restraint on the exercise of
power in society.

Despite the failure of the
Industrial Relations Act, the
need for control according to
law would remain “so long as
men believed- that uncontrolled
power is an evil to be eradicated
from civilized society”..

Referring to the ^ chaos and

confusion ” endemic in indus¬
trial relations, he said that the
law’s failures to solve it pointed
to the need for a reappraisal of
the legal system but not fbr its
rejection.

“ Only if the reappraisal fails
to produce an acceptable answer
should we embark on the un¬
known but deeply suspect waters
of a vital human activity devel¬
oping outside tbe control of the
general law.”

Lord Justice Scarman criti¬
cized the Kilbrandon report on
devolution for Scotland' and
Wales for having failed to take
sufficient account of the legal
difficulties that would follow its j
implementation. “I will go as |
far as to submit that it would be
irresponsible to initiate constitu¬
tional change without legislating
for its legal implications” lie
said.

Nato rejects Dutch

tactical nuclear arms

From Henry Stanhope
Defence Correspondent
Brussels, Dec 11 -

A Dutch suggestion to reduce
the role of tactical nuclear
weapons in the defence of
Western Europe received no
support at the meeting today of
the Nato Defence Planning
Committee.

The allies seem to object not
so much to the idea of reducing
any K undue dependence " upon
tactical weapons as to the tixn-
. ing of the Dutch suggestion and
j the way it has been put forward.
! There seems to have been' a
general feeling at the meeting

that some day the whole suth
jeer of tactical nuclear weapons
might weQ have to be intro¬
duced into the talks on mutual
balanced force reductions in
Vienna. But the time is not now.

Both Mr Mason, the British
Defence Secretary, and __ Dr
Schlesinger, his American
counterpart, emphasized _ die
importance of maintaining
Nato’s triad of forces. This con¬
sists of strategic nuclear
weapons, conventional forces,
and the 7,000 allied tactical
nuclear weapons, most of them
American, in Europe.

All three had to be strong
and well balanced, Mr Mason
told the meeting, and each had
to be buttressed by the other
two. By lowering the emphasis
on tactical weapons at this stage,
they would risk upsetting the
balance of the three.

On the one hand' it might
expose Nato to the use of
nuclear weapons by the other
side and on the other hand it

Damages of

in ‘Jesus trial’

Troyes, Dec II.—A French
district court today convicted
tbe Abbe -Georges: de Nantes,
an ultra-conservative priest, of
libelling Maitre Jacques Isorm
a fam ous member of the French
bar, in a dispute over the
alleged guilt of the Jews in the

The Abbe de Nantes, was
ordered to pay Me Isorni

avoided passing a new judg¬

and recognized the Abbe de
Nantes’s “ sincerity and good

literal interpretation of the
accounts contained in the New

By Geraldine Norman
Sale Room Correspondent

There is nothing like a fall in
the sterling exchange rate to cheer
the sale room along; both
Sotheby's and Christie’s recorded
exceptional trading days yesterday.
Sotheby’s big .autumn sale of
Old Master pointings totalled
£1.070,400, with 16 per cent un¬
sold ; nearly all the major paint¬
ings found buyers. Sotheby’s snail
but distinguished sale of Venetian
drawings and prints did not record
a single .unsold lot.

At Christie’s an Assyrian marble
relief carving of about 879 BC went
for £57,750 compared with an esti¬
mate of £10,008415,000. The carv¬
ing came from tbe Norm-west
Palace at Nimrod and was sent for
sale by Lord Gage. The buyer,
surprisingly enough, was a Japan¬
ese collector. Christie’s also held

an outstandingly successful jewel
sale in which only nine lots failed
to And buyers.

Sotheby’s Old Master sale was
die main event of the day. The
top price was £195,000 (estimate
£ 200 . 000 ) for a large oil sketch
by Tiepolo for his ceiling fresco
in the church of the Scalzi in
Venice. It depicts the
“ Miraculous translation of the
holy house of Loreto” and was
sent for -sale by Lady Rosebery.
It mas bought by an anonymous
English collector. He also paid
£40,006 (estimate £40,000-£60,000)
for a pair of large Roman land¬
scapes by Banint.

A large painting by Rubens,
“ St Ignatius of Loyola ", was sold
over the telephone to the Norton
Simon Museum In the United
States. The painting came front
Warwick Casne and until recently

was considered a version of a
painting in Romania.

A large and highly decorative
. Venetian scene. The reception
of the'French Ambassador at the
Doge's Palace”, also from War¬
wick Castle, was catalogued firmly
as an early work by Canaletto,
although it had been doubted. It
went to David Koetser for £125.000
• (estimate £1QQ,QOO-£150,OOQ), a
price that is modest should die
work now be universally accepted
as Canaletto’s.

Among the more important
faBures was a Boucher, “ Boreas
abducting Orythea ”, unsold at
£60.000) (estimate £ 60 , 000 -£ 80 , 000 ).
and a Flemish triptych attributed
ro Vrancke van der StockL unsold
at £38.000 (estimate £50,000-
£60,000). There were a good many
unsold lots but. prices even for
minor pictures were generally
better than at recent rales. •

om Charles Hargrove
i is, Dec ll

■So much cold water was

Fore it was held that the

inion find it difficuir rn

nique dealing with the more

union rhe day after, the
ihlessuess of which became

his was precisely what

to avoid. In his opinion it
a very useful summit. The
e fact that it took place
important 'in view of Lhe

railing scepticism; that it
set in train rhe machinery
egular. unspectacular work-
meetings of heads of gov-
nent was a great asset for
future of the European

i the absence of anything
tacular, the dash between
Stiscard d’Estains and Mr

■Kirtion in the press. There

a , s ^ ar P exchange nf words

It was not by accident, the
suggestion is, that bis Chur-
chiJlian sortie was in time to
? at ch the evening newspapers
in Britain. But after that, both
sides moved towards a compro¬
mise solution.

It was a genuine compro¬
mise, with no victor or van¬
quished. The French Govern-
men-t moved from Its position
of principle. that there could
be no revision of the budget¬
ary contributions laid down" Ln
the Treaty of Accession.

The British Government
abandoned its insistence on a
direct link between the contri¬
bution and the gross domestic
product* while repeating that it
respeted the Community prin¬
ciple of “own resources ”, and
did not wish io renegotiate
either the Treaty of Rome or
the Treaty of Accession.

This it had done before, but
it was useful to say it in black
and wbiie in the agreed com*
muniqu.

The formula agreed is a pro¬
cedural one. It docs not solve
the problem. But it does say
one or two things which were
important to Britain, like the
recognition thar there is a case
and that it should be dealt
with now, not later, when it
had occurred. So much so that

ope that budget accord

i Roger Bertboud
sels, Dec 11

Brussels today the Paris
nit was widely seen as a
jst success. Diplomats and
ials thought the most posi-
aspects were the agree-
on Britain's budgetary
'ibution, which should help
stay in the Community;
establishment of the
nal development fund,

I though it is; and some
sptual breakthroughs (as
Kissinger would say) in
oving the EEC's decision-
ing machinery,
ic regional fund was the
’. operational decision and
warmly welcomed by the
ope&n Commission,
everal participants, includ-
' Mr Wilson, Herr Schmidt,
West German Chancellor,.
Tindcmans, the Belgian
. je Minister, and Dr Garret
Jerald, the Irish Republic's .
•lign Minister, were im-
sed by the level of dis-
: ons on the serious
omic situation. The switch
mphasis. even by the Ger-
», from inflation to
ssion as the main enemy
seen as a major develop-
t,

eptics suspected, however,
the surplus countries-—
t Germany, Holland and
ium—would have been
by rising unetnploy-
: to stimulate domestic
md even without a summit
pve them a bouquet for
g so.

e agreement to “ re-
ice" the search for

unanimity .on all council
decisions is viewed here as a
welcome change of attitude by
the French, on paper at least.
President Giscard’s backing for
direct elections to the European
Parliament was also very wel¬
come. Mr Tindemans in parti¬
cular thought it gave the
summit a longer-term element;
but Mr Gaston Thorn, his
Luxembourg colleague, feared
the agreement on tbrice-yearly
meetings of heads of govern¬
ment could paralyse the already
modest powers of derision of the
EEC’s ministerial councils.

The most obvious, failure was
in Hie field of energy policy, |
where nothing seemed to be j
achieved. According to some
participants. President Giscard
seemed reluctant to discuss it in
any depth, and kept changing
the subject.’ The suspicion was
that on this subject his bands
were tied by the Gaullist
majority at home, making an
early end fo France’s boycott
of the International Energy
Agency impossible.

One of the mysteries of the
conference was the sharp
exchange alleged by British
officials to have taken place be¬
tween Mr Wilson and President
Giscard on Britain’s budgetary
contribution. The Belgians and
Germans were among those who
could not recall a single clash
in the course of.a very civilized
meeting.

Mr Wilson must have
delivered his carefully leaked
remark about “seeing no hope
of successful negotiations ” with
deceptive geniality.

Paris, Dec 11.—The full text
of the communique, issued
after the EEC summit meeting
here yesterday, reads:

I- The Heads of government 1 of
nine states of the Community, the
ministers of foreign affairs and the
President of the Commission, meet¬
ing In Pails at the invitation of
the French President, examined
the various problems confronting
Europe. They took note of the
reports drawn up by the ministers
ol foreign affairs and recorded
tiie agreement reached by these
ministers nn various points raised
In the reports.

-- Recognizing tbe need for an
overall approach io the internal
problems involved In achieving
European unity and the external
problems facing Europe, the heads
or government consider It essential
to ensure progress and overall
consistency in the activities of the
Communities and in the work on
political cooperation.

3. The heads of government have
therefore decided io meet, accom¬
panied by the ministers of foreign
affairs, three times a year and,
whenever necessary, in the Coun¬
cil of the Communities and in the
context of political cooperation.
The administrative secretariat will
be provided for in an appropriate
manner with due regard for exist¬
ing practices and procedures.

In order to ensure consistency in
Community activities and con¬
tinuity of work, the ministers of
foreign affairs, meeting in the
Council of the Community, will
an as Initiators and coordinators.
They may hold political coopera¬
tion meetings at the some time.

These arrangements do not in
any way afreet the rules and pro¬
cedures laid down in the treaties
or the provisions on political co¬
operation in the Luxembourg and
Copenhagen reports. At the vari¬
ous meetings referred to in the
preceding paragraphs tbe Com¬
mission will exercise the powers
vested Id It and play the part
assigned to it by the above texts.

4. With a view to progress
towards European unity, the

I heads of government reaffirm
their determination gradually to
adopt common positions ana co¬
ordinate their diplomatic action
in all. areas of international affairs
which affect the' interests of the
European Community. The
President in office will be the
spokesman for the Nine and will
set out their views in international
diplomacy’. He will ensure that
the necessary concertstion always
takes place in good time.

In view of the increasing role
of political cooperation in the con¬
struction of Europe, the European
Assembly must be more closely
associated with the work of the
Presidency, for example through
replies to questions cm political
cooperation put to him by its
members.

5. The Heads of government
consider it necessary to increase
tbe solidarity of tbe Nine both by
improving Community procedures
and by developing new common
policies in areas to be derided on
and granting tbe necessary powers
to the institutions.

6. In order to improve functioning
of the Council of the Community,
they consider that it is necessary
to renounce the practice which
consists of making agreement on
all questions conditional on the
unanimous consent of the member
states, whatever their respective
posfnons may be regarding the
conclusions reached in Luxem¬
bourg on January 2Si 1966.

7. Greater latitude will be given
to the permanent representatives
so that only the most important
political problems need be dis¬
cussed in the Council. To this end.
each member stare will tako the
measures it considers necessary to
strengthen the role of the
permanent representatives and
involve them in preparing the
national post dons on European
affairs.

8. Moreover, they agree on the
advantage of making use of the
provisions of the Treaty of Rome
whereby the powers or imple¬
mentation and management aris¬
ing out or Community rules may
be conferred on the Commission.
?- Cooperation between the Nine
m areas outside the scope of the
treaty will be continued where it
has already begun. Tt should be
extended to otner areas by bring¬
ing together the representatives of
the governments, meeting, within
the Council whenever possible.

.10. A working party will' be set
up to study the possibility of
establishing a passport union and,
in anticipation of this, tbe intro¬
duction of a uniform passport.

If possible, this draft should be
submined to rhe governments of
the member stares before Decem¬
ber 31, 1976. It will, in particu¬
lar, provide for stage-by-stage
harmonization of legislation affect¬
ing aliens and For tbe abolition of
passport control within the Com¬
munity.

11. Another working porty will
be instructed to study the condi¬
tions .md the riming under which
the citizens of the nine member
states could be given special rights
as members of the Community.

12. The heads of Government
note that the election nf the
Europe) n Assembly by universal
suffrage, one of the objectives
laid down in the treaty, should be
achieved as soon as possible, in
this connexion, they await with
Interest the proposals of the
European Assembly, on which they
wish the Council to act in 1976.
On this assumption, elections by
direct universal suffrage could
take place at any time In or after
1978.

Since the European Assembly Is
composed of representatives of ihe
peoples of tiie states united within
the Community, each people must
be represented in an appropriate
manner.

The European Assembly wifi he
associated with the achievement of
European unitv. The heads of
government will not fail to take
into consideration the on inti of
view which, in October. 1972. they
asked it to express on this subject.

The competence of the European
Assembly will be extended, in par¬
ticular by granting it certain
powers in the Communities’ legis¬
lative process.

Statement by the United Kingdom
Delegation

The Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom explained that
Her Majesty’s Government did not
wish to prevent the governments
of the other eight member states
from making progress with the
election of the European Assem¬
bly by universal suffrage.

Her Majesty's Government could
not themselves take up a position
on the proposal before the pro¬
cess of renegotiation had been
completed and the results of
renegotiation submitted to the
British people.

Statement by the Danish Dele¬
gation ■

Mr Wilson’s attitude is
praised by Herr Schmidt

From Dan van tier Vat
Bonn, Dec 11

Herr Schmidt, the West
German Chancellor, went out
of his way in the Bundestag
today to record his apprecia¬
tion of Mr Wilson’s “coopera¬
tive attitude ” at the EEC sum¬
mit in Paris.

Opening a special foreign
affairs debate, Herr Schmidt
said that he wanted to make
special mention of two partici¬
pants in the Paris meeting. One
was President Giscard d’Estaing
for his preparatory work and
his “ fair and constructive ”
chairmanship.

“ Prime Minister Wilson,
supported by Foreign Minister
Callaghan, also adopted a
cooperative attitude. Prime
Minister Wilson took part in
all decisions, notwithstanding
the still unresolved questions
of principle in Britain.

“He declared unequivocabiy
that England is not conducting
what he calls the ‘ renegotia¬
tion’ with the aim of changing
the treaties, but far more with¬
in the treaty texts in force.

" The remaining heads of
government in response
declared' themselves ready to
bring the- problem of Great
Britain’s financial burden to a
satisfactory solution on the
basis of objective criteria.

“I regard both these things
as an important step forward,
and' I do not believe I am
exaggerating if I claim a part
of the credit for this for the
Federal Government.” Herr
Schmidt was referring to his
taUcs with Mr Wilson at

Chequers less than a fortnight
ago.

The Chancellor announced
that President Ford would be
coming to West Germany in the
foreseeable future, and would
also visit West Berlin.

Herr Schmidt repeatedly
sounded warnings of the danger
that. the present economic re¬
cession could turn into a
depression, unless joint action
were taken by the EEC and the
United States.

The Chancellor always says
that there is no place for opti¬
mism or pessimism in politics.
An observer can therefore re¬
cord only a change of tone in
his assessment of the Western
world’s chances of coping with
the consequences of the oil
crisis.

His speeches and comments on
the economic crisis before the
pasr-fortnight of hectic travels
and talks were full of gloom.
While today’s statement is a
long way short of euphoric, its
tone suggests that the Chan¬
cellor may now see - a glimmer of
light. But he took care to point
out that there was a long way
to go yet.

Herr Schmidt said that after
his'visits to Washington and the
Paris summit, “I am now more
optimistic about the success of
the (forthcoming) meeting
between President Ford and
President Giscard d’Estaing”.

If this crucial . meeting,
largely concerned with a com¬
mon front on energy problems,
does work out well the Chan¬
cellor will again be .able to
claim much of the credit-.Herr
Schmidt has, suddenly turned
into a considerable mediator.

Europe ‘stronger with
British participation’

From Our Own Correspondent
Paris, Dec 11

M Jean Monnet, the president
of the Action Committee for the
United States of Europe, has
given the following exclusive
statement to The Times on the
morrow'of the Paris EEC sum¬
mit conference, about Britain
in Europe:

I have no doubt that the
majority of citizens in Europe,
be they French, German, Dutch,
Belgian or Luxembourgers,
ardently wish Britain should
join them to create what is now
overabun dandy obvious and
necessary, that is to say a united
Europe.

We can only exercise the in¬
fluence to which our European
civilization entities us and pro¬
tect the interests of all our
peoples if tbe older nations come
together to form a new Com¬
munity on the scale of the needs
of the Europe in which we live.

Sixty years. ago the British
had an empire, the French had
an empire, and the Germans had
an empire j and all that really
mattered in the world took place -
in ‘Rtirnne. among the countries

of Europe, or because of the
countries of Europe.

Now all that has changed.
The British no longer have an
empire, nor do the French or
the Germans. And the big events
in tbe world occur mostly out¬
side Europe, between rhe super¬
powers, or the Middle East.

■ So we have to think in terms
of a completely new world, such
as we have never known before,
in which no European country
alone can exercise influence or
even protect its people’s
interests.

For 25 years, first in tbe name
of the French Government, and
then in the name of the Action
Committee for the United States
of Europe - , 1 have made every
effort for Britain to become
part of the Community, on the
same terras as the other mem¬
ber countries. Political circum¬
stances in Britain have influ¬
enced the progress of British
partidpation. ’Everyone knows
its vidssitudes-

1 think that Europe will be
stronger with Britain in it, and
•better able to preserve what we
all think is .important. L also
believe it is better in. Britain's
interest to take part in this
organization of Europe*

The Danish delegation is unable
at this stage to commit itself to
introducing elections by universal
suffrage by 1978.

13. The heads of government
note that the process of transform¬
ing tbe whole ccmplex of rela¬
tions between the member states,
in accordance with tlie derision
taken in Pans in October 1972, has
already seamed. They are deter¬
mined to make further progress in
this direction.

la thts connexion, they con¬
sider that the time has come for
the Nine to agree os soon as pos¬
sible on an overall concept of
European union. Consequently, in

accordance witn the requests made
by the Paris meeting of heads of
state and of government in
October 1972. they confirm the
Importance which they attach to
the reports to be made by the
Community Institutions.

They request the European
Assembly, the Commission and the
Court of Jus:ice to bring the sub¬
mission of their reports forward
to belure tbe end of June 1975.
Tier cgr<?e:l to invite Mr Tmde-
uujs. ".'.ic rnnie Minister of the
kingdom of Belgium, to submit a
comprehensive report to the beads
of government before the end of
1975, on the basis of the reports
received from tbe institutions and
of consultations which he is to
hare with rhe governments and
with a wide range of public
opinion in the Community.
Economic and monetary union

14. The heads nf government,
having noted that internal and
international difficulties have pre¬
vented in 1973 and 1974 the
accomplishment of expected pro¬
gress on the road to EMU. affirm
that in this field their v.-i|| ha-,
nor weakened and thar their
objective has not changed since
the Paris conference.

Convergence of economic policies

15. The heads uf government

discussed the economic situation in
the world and in the Community.

16. They noted that the increase in

energy prices is leading to infla¬
tionary tendencies and balance of
payments deficits and Intensify¬
ing rbe threat of genera] reces¬
sion. The resulting alterations in
the terms of trade are forcing

the member states to redirect their

production structures.

17. The beads of government

reaffirm that the aim of their
economic policy continues to be
to combat inflation and maintain
employment. The cooperation of
both sides of industry will be
essentia] if this policy is to
succeed. They emphasize that, in
the present circumstances, high
priority must be given to economic
revival in conditions of stability,
i.e., action aimed both at prevent¬
ing a general economic recession
and restoring stability. This must
not involve any recourse to pro¬
tectionist measures which, by
setting up a chain reaction, could
jeopardize economic revival.

Member states which have a
balance of payments surplus must
implement an economic policy of
stimulating domestic demand and
maintaining a high level of employ¬
ment, without creating new infla¬
tionary conditions. Such an atti¬
tude would make it easier for
countries which have considerable
balance of payments deficits to
follow a policy which will ensure a
satisfactory level of employment,
stabilization of costs and an
improvement in their external
trade balance without resorting to
protectionist measures.

IVlr Wilson arriving back at
No 10 yesterday after the EEC
summit talks in Paris.

IS. In the context of the effort to
he made by countries baring a sur¬
plus. the heads of government
greet the economic policy measures
already adopted by the Nether¬
lands Government as a step in the
right direction. They also note
with satisfaction the short-term
economic programme which the
government of the Federal Repub¬
lic of Germany intends to follow,
particularly as regards stimulating
public and private investment, and
the fact that the Belgian Govern¬
ment intends to follow suit.

They all express satisfaction at
the efforts made by the countries
haring a balance of payments
deficit to maintain their competi¬
tive position so as to achieve a
more satisfactory balance of pay¬
ments and to improve (he level of
employment.

19. While acknowledging the
special situation of each of the
member states of the Community—
which makes a uniform policy
inappropriate—the beads of govern¬
ment stress that it is absolutely
necessary to agree on the policies
to be adopted. This convergence
will be meaningful only if it works
towards Community solidarity and
Is based on effective permanent
consultation machinery. Tbe mini¬
sters for economic affairs and
finance will be responsible, within
the framework of Community
procedures, for implementing
these guidelines.

20. It is obvious that all these poli¬
cies will be really effective only in
so far as the world’s major
industrialized countries succeed in
arresting incipient recessionary
tendencies. In this connexion, they
note with satisfaction the account
given by the Chancellor of the

Federal Republic of Germany of
his calks with the President of the
United States.

They desire that, at his forth¬
coming meeting with President
Ford, the President of the French
Republic should, on behalf of the
Community, stress the importance
of convergence between the econo¬
mic policies of all industrialized
countries along tbe lines indicated
above.

They also wish the Community
and its member states to do the
same during the forthcoming Inter¬
national consultations and <□ ihe
appropriate international bodies.

21. Tbe Community will continue
to contribute to the harmonious
expansion of world trade, especi¬
ally in relation to developing
countries, and in order to do so
will rake a constructive part in
the GATT trade negotiations which
it hopes to see actively continued
in tbe near future.

Regional Policy

22. The heads of government
decided that the European regional
development fund, designed to
correct the principal regional
imbalances in the Community
resulting notably from agricultural
predominance, industrial change
and structural underemployment,
will be put inro operation by the
institutions of the Community with
effect from 1 January 1975.

23. The fund will be endowed
with 300 mua in 1975, with 500
mua for each of rhe years 1976 and
1977, i.e. 1300 mua.

24. This rot at sum of 1300 mua
will be financed up to a level of
150 mua by credits not presently
utilized from EAGGF (guidance
section).

The resources of the fund will
be divided along the lines envis¬
aged by the Commission :

Belgium : 1.5% ; Denmark :

1.3"a ; France : 13% ; Ireland :

6% ; Italy : 40% ; Luxembourg :
0.1%; Netherlands: 1.7%; Fed¬
eral Republic of Germany : 6.4% ;
United Kingdom : 28%.

Ireland will in addition be given
another 6 mua which will come
from a reduction in the shares of
tbe other member states with the
exception of Italy.

Employment problems :

25. The effort needed to com¬
bat inflation and the risks of reces¬
sion and unemployment as des¬
cribed above must accord with the
imperatives of a progressive and
equitable social policy if if is to
receive support and cooperation
from both -sides of industry, both
at national and Community level-

in this respect, tbe heads of
government emphasize that the
economic and social committee can
play on important role in associa¬
ting both sides of industry m the
definition of the Community’s
economic and social aims.

Above all, vigorous and coordin¬
ated action must be taken at
Community level to deal wltb the
problem of employment. This will
require the member states, in
conjunction with the organizations
concerned, to coordinate their
employment policies ln an appro¬
priate manner and to set priority
targets.

26. When the time Is ripe, the
Council of the Community will
consider, in tbe Hght of experience
and wkh dne regard to the prob¬
lem of tbe regions and categories
of workers most affected by
employment difficulties, whether
and to wbat extent it will be
necessary to increase the resources
of the social fund.

27. Being convinced that In this
period of economic difficulty
special emphasis should be placed
on social measures, the heads or
government reaffirm the Import¬
ance which they attach ro imple¬
mentation of the measures listed
in the *ocia! action programme
approved by the Council in its
resolution of 21 January 1974-

28. The heads of govemnent make
it their objective to harmonize the
degree of social security afforded
by the various member states,
while maintaining progress bur
without requiring that the social
systems obtaining in all member
states should be identical.

Energy

29. The heads of government dis¬
cussed the energy problem and. in
this connexion, the related major
financial problems created for the
community and for tbe wider
world.

30. They further noted that the
ministers of energy of tbe Com¬
munity countries are due to meet
an 17 December.

31. The heads of government,
aware of the paramount impor¬
tance which the energy problem
has in world economy, have dis¬
cussed the possibilities for
cooperation between oil exporting
and oil importing countries, on
which subject they heard a report
from the Federal Chance llor.

32. The heads of government

attach very great importance to
the forthcoming meeting between
the .President of the United States
and the President of the French
Republic.

33. The heads of government,

referring to the Council resolution
of 17 September 1974, have invited
tbe Community institutions to
work out and to implement a com¬
mon energy policy In the shortest
passible time.

Britain's membership of the
Comnnnaty

34. The Prime Minister of the

United Kingdom indicated the
basis on which Her Majesty's
Government approached the
negotiations regarding Britain’s
continued membership of the Com¬
munity and set out the particular
issues to which the Government

attached the highest importance.

35. The heads of government recall
tbe statement made during the
accession negotiations by the Com¬
munity to tiie effect that “ if un¬
acceptable situations were to arise,
the very life of the Community
would make it imperative for the
institutions to find equitable solu¬
tions ”.

36 They confirm that the system
of “ own resources ” represents
one of the fundamental elements
of the economic integration of the
Community.

37. They invite the institutions of
the Community (the Council and
tbe Commission! to set up as soon
as possible a correcting mechanism
of a general application which, in
the framework of the system of
“ own resources ” and in harmony
with its normal functioning, based
on objective criteria and taking
into consideration in particular the
suggestions made to this effect h.v
the British Government, could
prevent during the period of con¬
vergence of the economies of the
member states, the possible
development of situations un¬
acceptable for a member state and
incompatible with the smooth
working of tbe Community.—

THE TIMES THURSDAY DECEMBER 12 1974

OVERSEAS,

Mr Ford accepts that Congress
will not pass tax increase plan
but rejects idea of wage controls

From Frank Vo?l
United States Economic
Correspondent
Washington. Dec 12

President Ford has given up
hope that the Congress will pass
his proposed 5 per cent income
tax increase. He told congres¬
sional leaders today that he is
open-minded on new policies to
fight inflation and recession,
but sees no need for wage and
price controls.

Mr Ron Nessen, the chief
White House spokesman, stated
that the President fully accep¬
ted that there was no chance
of the Congress acting on his
tax increase plan this session
and no firm derision had yet
heen taken whether to reinrro-
auce the proposal next year.

The spokesman said the Pre¬
sident was constantly reviewing
economic policies, but he did
nor plan to announce new poli¬
cies in a speech tonight to the
Business Council, a group of
some 150 chairmen of America's
lar"?«t companies.

Mr Nessen emphasized that
the President had not changed
his mind on the point that in¬
creased federal spending must
be financed through increased
taxation, but he appreciated
that Congress was in no mood to
accept 3 tax increase at this
time. The spokesman stated
that the President told congres¬
sional leaders this morning that
he still firmly believed that his
economic programme of Octo¬
ber 8 is finely tuned to meet

the dual problems of inflation
and recession.

The surtax was a key element
in this programme, as were sub¬
stantial budget cuts, which the
Congress now seems likely to
largely reject

Democrats in Congress have
come out strongly for controls
on wages, prices, profits and
rents, but Mr Nessen stated that
the President told the congres¬
sional leaders that there was
no need for stand-by authority
or mandatory controls.

Senior Administration offi¬
cials now admit that even if the
Congress accepts all of the
President’s budget-cutting plans
the present year's budget will
show a deficit of more than
SI3,000m (about £4.700m). Sav¬
ings of some S4,700m were
hoped for through rax increases.

The President strongly urged
the congressional leaders to en¬
sure immediate passage for his
proposals to increase unemploy¬
ment benefits and expand public
service jobs programmes. Mr
Nessen said. Senator Robert
Griffin, a Republican from
Michigan, noted that the Presi¬
dent was “ seriously concerned ”
about the extent of the down¬
turn in the economy in the last
couple of months.

Forceful arguments for much
greater reflationary efforts were
made earlier today by three
academic economists at a meet¬
ing of the Senate budget com¬
mittee. Dr Arthur Okun, of the
Brooking Institution, recommen¬

ded tax cuts and gave a warning
that unemployment, now at 6-5
per cent, might well reach 8 per
cent by next summer.

Dr Otto Eckstein, head of
Data Resources Incorporated,
told the committee that the

economy would sink still lower

if present Government policies
were pursued, but that a signi¬
ficant recovery could develop,
with an inflation rate of about
8 per cent, in the second half of
1975, if fiscal and monetary
policies were eased now.

Professor Murray Weiden-
baum, of Washington University,
urged expanded public works
programmes and suggested that

this having been done, the built-
in strength of the United States
economy would generate much
of its own recovery.

Mr Nessen slated that Mr
Frank Zarb. who has been
nominated to head the Federal
Energy Administration, sup¬
ported an idea to leave energy
conservation programmes to a
private contractor at a meeting
held in New York yesterday,
which President Ford attended,
with seven members of Mr Nel¬
son Rockefellers Commission
on Critical Choices for America.

President Ford is encounter¬
ing increasing criticism in the
- •c-.trtprs and from many
Congressmen for enjoying him-
.mi much and in conse¬
quence spending too little time
dealing with economic and
energy problems.

Zeffirelli
realism
made author
‘shudder’

Continued from page 1
an dthose of them not mad were
idiots. . -

His explanation of what went
wrong between one production
and another was: “ In London,
Zeffirelli was dealing with an
organic group of actors who
had worked together and knew
each other over a long period,
actors who work with passion
and with competence and who.
if told to do something by the
producer, want to know why.

“ I have been told that
Olivier, Plowright, and Finlay,
as well a? the others, con¬
tinually went hack to the text
to understand ideas and actions
which they did not find con¬
vincing, and they rehearsed at
length.

“ In New York there were
only four weeks of rehearsal
with a cast containing some
excellent actors but who did
not form a real company, but
above all I believe that Zeffi¬
relli respected the British pub¬
lic but not the American
public.”

Signor de Filippo, who is 74,
argues that, in his plays, it was
never possible to be successful
by concentrating on the
Neapolitanness of the charac¬
ters or of the plot because he
had insisted constantly on doing
away with all local colour and
folklore on the stage. Attempts
at realism, such as that of
Signor Zeffirelli, made him
shudder.

“ Putting the first act song
with mandolins in the play is
like—this is by way of explana¬
tion not to make a comparison
—putting ‘ The Volga Boatmen *
in The Cherry Orchard to show
that it is happening in Russia.

“Certainly I am sorry about
how things went in America,
but on the other hand, in
London, which I regard as the
theatrical centre of the world
today, the play is going splen¬
didly: Joan Plowright is better
still every evening and Frank
Finlay moves me every time I
see mm

' “All 1 would cut out would
be the music and the taking
of bows around the table- This
is attractive but pointless, and
when you have 70 years in the
theatre behind you, you reacb
the point of wanting to cut out
everything that is not
essential- -

Martial law imposed
after Rangoon riots

Mr Murphy refuses to discuss his wife's business
during Australian Senate questions

Miss Morosi hits back at innuendoes

From Our Correspondent
Melbourne, Dec 11

Miss Juai Morosi, who earlier
this week declined an offer to
join the staff of Dr Cairns, the
Deputy Prime Minister, as his
private secretary, gave a press
conference in Sydney today.

Facing the television and
press cameras, she calmly
answered question after ques¬
tion and undoubtedly made a
favourable impression by her
candour and composure.

She told the reporters: ** I
feel I have been used by cer tain
interests in an effort to embar¬
rass the Labour Government. I
regard the stories which have
been circulating about my
sexual relations with Cabinet
ministers as baseless innuen¬
does.

“There is absolutely no truth
in them at alL What I have
found as particularly hurtful is
the effect all this controversy
has had upon my family. That
has been most distressing.

*■ As for the statements being
circulated about the failure of
companies with which I have
been associated, it is a fact that
90 per cent of companies regis¬
tered in Australia fail. 1 cheated
no one. No public moneys were
involved. The only moneys in¬
volved were moneys belonging
to me. I find ic strange that the
New South Wales Corporate
Affairs Commission should sud¬
denly start investigations at this
particular time when it all hap¬
pened three years ago and was
public property then.”

She was asked : “ How do you
think vou will come out of all
this ? ”

She reflected for a moment
I and then replied quietly: “ I
will survive.”

Rangoon. Dec 11.—The Bur¬
mese Government today de¬
clared martial law in Rangoon
and placed the city under cur¬
few after ivi despread destruc¬
tion and looting

One person was killed and
three others were wounded
when police opened fire as
thousands of rioters set fire to
vehicles and Government build¬
ings.

A statement by the Stare
Council said emergency
measures were prompted by
“ mob rule which had become
widespread ”

“ Lawless mobs ”, it added,
“ roamed all over the city,
attacking or destroying Govern¬
ment offices, markets, police

stations and road and railway
transports.”

The radio said there were no
incidents when riot police
raided Rangoon University cam¬
pus. The body of U Thant, the
former United Nations Secre¬
tary-General was'removed this
mo r ni ng to h is new burial
ground, despite incitement by
lawless elements against the
security forces.

The students seized U Thant’s
body last Thursday saying chat
they wanted a more fitting
funeral and a special mauso¬
leum for him.

U Thant's body was rein¬
terred today at the family-built
mausoleum near the Shweda
gon pagoda. Burma’s most
sacred shrine.—Reuter.

Miss Juni Morosi: centre of
a political storm.

In the Senate in Canberra to¬
day Senator Lionel Murphy, the
Attorney General, was ques¬
tioned about alleged association
between Ethiopian Airways,
Miss Morosi. her husband, Mr
David Ditchbum. and the sena¬
tor’s wife. Mrs Ingrid Murphy.

Asked whether he consid¬
ered himself under any obliga¬
tion to Ethiopian Airways, he
replied u No He was also
asked if he would reveal any
benefits he or his wife received
from the airline by way of free
or concessional world travel or
in other ways.

Senator Murphy was asked
what business Ethiopian Air¬

ways carried on in Australia
and if this was a front for other
activities. He was unable to tell
the Senate about the activities
of Ethiopian Airways in Aust¬
ralia, he replied _ “ Even if_ I
were, it is not within by min¬
isterial Dorrfolio ”.

He added: “ I do not intend
to enter into the business affairs
of my wife in this Chamber. I
do not think the Senate would
expect me to and I do not in¬
tend to.” He was cheered by
Labour senators.

Mrs Murphy has worked as a
public relations consultant for
Ethiopian Airways. The airline’s
representative in Australia is
Mr Ditchburn.

Sir John Kerr, the Governor
General, today swore in Dr
Cairns as Federal Treasurer and
Mr Frank Creao, the former

Treasurer, as Minister for Over¬
seas Trade, the post previously
held by Dr Cairns.

Dr Cairns was later inter¬
viewed by the press. He said
that although difficult times
were ahead, Australia had
turned the corner and was now
moving in the correct direction .
An improvement was definitely
noticeable.

“ No matter who had been
the Government in recent
months, our economic experi¬
ence would have been no
better, because what has hap¬
pened is built ioro the system.
Admittedly we have made mis¬
takes, the worse being our belief
we could check inflation by per¬
mitting an increased infiow of
goods from overseas through
tariff adjustments.

“ Perhaps we went too far in
that direction. Nevertheless it
was a justifiable decision in die
circumstances. It was a risk
worth taking. To think you can
check inflation without cost, is
being stupidly unrealistic.”

weeps at trial

From Fred Emery
Washington, Dec 11 ' . .

Mr John Ehrlich man, die raw r
defiant of Mr Nixon's associates,
has surprised the hard men of
Washington by weeping at the
Watergate trial.

An even greater surprise was
i that he did not live up to his
] defence counsel’s promise of
i blaming all the cover-up on the
former President.

Mr Ehrlichman • was far more
gentle, suggesting only his re¬
gret that Mr Nixon had not fol- -
lowed his advice to expose the
( cover-up. Mr Nixon, he sugges-
! ted, regretted it, too.

The break in this resilient
man’s composure came not in
any confession or expression of
remorse, but when be spoke .of
what he bad asked Mr Nixon
to rell his five children.

Mr Ehrlichman, giving
evidence yesterdav In his own
defence was taken by his counsel
through the emotional story of

his parrins from the President
in April, 1973. when he. along
with Mr H. R. Hald' , man._ was
asked ro resign over Watergate.

Ac rhe end. he said, Mr Nixon
had offered again to help"-with-
legal fees. Mr Ehrlichman. said
he refused. Mr Nixon, also weep¬

“I said that sometime I’d like

The witness sobbed at this.
His wife who was in court also
had tears on her cheeks. Judge

Police seize
S. African
churchmen’s
passports

From Michael Knipe
Cape Town, Dec 11
The South African Govern¬
ment publicly exercised its
authoritarian muscle yesterday
by staging simultaneous police
swoops in Cape Town and
Johannesburg to seize the pass¬
ports of dissident churchmen.

The victims were six leading
members of the anti-apartheid
Christian Institute, including Dr
C. F. Beyers Naude, the insti¬
tute's director.

A squad of 10 policemen took
part in the raid on the insti¬
tute’s office in Johannesburg,
entering the offices of five
officials. In Cape Town two

E ol icemen were waiting at the
ome of the Rev Theo Kotze,
the institute’s Cape director,
when he returned from, a meet¬
ing in Johannesburg. They re¬
fused to allow him to use his
telephone until he parted with
his passport.

There is no obvious reason
for the dramatic manner in
which the passport confisca¬
tions have been carried out,
other than to provide a de¬
liberately overt display of
Government toughness, presum¬
ably in the belief that it will
send intimidatory ripples
further afield. It seems that the
Government does not intend its
efforts to reach a black : white
ditente in southern Africa to
give any impression of a relaxa¬
tion of authority ar home.

Four of the victims had had
their passports restored by Dr
Connie Mulder, Minister of
the Interior, last March after
a previous confiscation. The
return of his passport had
allowed Dr Beyers Naude to
visit the United States where
he received the Rheinhold
Niebuhr award for theological
scholarship and political
involvement and an honorary
doctorate in law from the
Chicago Theological Seminary.

During his trip overseas Dr
Beyers Naude incurred the
wrath of Mr Vorster, the
Prime Minister, for reportedly
saying in a speech in Holland
that in the seemingly inevitable
event of revolution in South
Africa, the Christian Institute
would support the African
freedom fighters. Dr Beyers
Naude has strongly denied the
inferences placed upon his
words and produced a tape
recording of his speech to sub¬
stantiate his denial.

The other officials whose
passports have been seized are
the Rev Brian Brown, Mr Horst
Kleinschmidt and Mr Peter
Randall The Rev Roelf Meyer,
editor of Pro Veritute , the
institute’s journal, resisted
demands for his passport say¬
ing that freedom of movement
was a basic human right.

Dr Beyers Naude described
the Government action as
“ petty and vindictive ”.

Tel Aviv. Dec It.—A man
hurled hand grenades into a Tel
Aviv cinema tonight and killed
three people, including himself,
Israeli Radio reported. At least
44 people were wounded.

Five grenades were thrown
during the evening’s second
show, three of them from the
balcony to the seating area on
the ground floor and rwo of
them in the balcony itself.

It was not clear if all the
grenades went off. Some eye¬
witnesses said there were five
loud, brilliant explosions. But
police reportedly found and
defused some unexploded
grenades.

Teams of troops, police and
ambulances raced to the Chen
cinema at Dizeogoff Circle, at
the heart of Tel Aviv, and
sealed oft the districi.

Mr Han Mehler, who was in
the cinema, said: ** There were
about 200 people downstairs but
most of them were sitting in the
back section. The man tossed
five grenades downstairs to¬
wards the front. They exploded.
The bangs were horrible. Every¬
one threw themselves to the
floor.—Reuter.

Moshe Brilliant writes from
Tel Aviv:

Israelis today assumed that the
attacks with rockets mounted on
cars against the offices of the
Palestine Liberation Organiza¬
tion in Beirut yesterday had
been the work of Israel agents,
but officially there was no
comment.

People expressed pride over
the sophistication of the methods
and the precision in the selec¬
tion of targets in contrast to the
indiscriminate killings by Arab
terrorists.

The newspaper Maoriv said in
a leading article that it accepted
the PLO spokesman’s claim that
Israel agents had a hand in the
operation. “ If so, blessed be
those hands and blessed be those
who sent them”

Another writer noted that the
raid was the first attack on PLO
and AI Fatah targets in the
heart of Beirut since three
terrorist leaders were killed in
their nomes m April, 1973. Israel
had then officially acknowledged
the operation, the writer said.

The Matzriv article said that
the precision in locating targets
should worry Arab terrorists.

House affirms I In brief

Scab speech on ‘tyranny’
denounced at UN

From Our Own Correspondent
New York, Dec 11

The United States and other
Western countries came under
heavy fire in the United Nations
today when the developing coun¬
tries mounted a counterattack
on their criticism of this year’s
General Assembly.

Speaker after speaker
answered Friday’s speech by Mr
John Scali, the American repre¬
sentative, in which he spoke of
the “ tyranny of the majority".
It was simply that times had
changed, they said, and that the
Americans no longer had the
majority they bad in the past.

Mr AbdellatK Rahai, the
Algerian representative, pointed
out that in the past Palestine
had been partitioned by a
majority vote, in spite of the
opposition of a considerable
minority. The same was true of
the United Nations decision to
intervene in Korea, and of the
20 years in which the General
Assembly had refused to recog¬
nize the Peking Government.

Mr Rahai denied that South
Africa had been expelled
illegally from the United
Nations. The decision not to

allow it to take part in this

year’s General Assembly' was
completely legal. So was the
decision to limit speeches In the
Palestine debate, among them
those by Israel.

The fact that the assembly’s
majority was now made up
largely of the less developed,
less populated and Jess power¬
ful members, should add to its
moral authority. It was the
minority, not the majority,
which was unreasonable and
irrationaL

Mr Scab's remarks on Friday
had reflected the concern of
many of the Western countries
over decisions taken in this
year’s General Assembly, par¬
ticularly over South Africa and
Israel. Other countries, such as
Britain, France and West
Germany, "made similar points,
but with much less force.

The main complaint was that
the developing countries were
using their majority to force
through decisions without con¬
sideration of the views of the
minority.' This left out of
account the views of countries
which had a certain influence
in the areas considered, and
weakened the authority-of the
United Nations, it was argued.

ban on arms

Washington, Dec 11

The suspension of American
military assistance to Turkey
was affirmed overwhelmingly in
the House of Representatives
today. The suspension went into
effect at midnight last night
under the terms of a. continuing
resolution.

In a technically separate
move, the house rejected, as
part of the passage of the new
Foreign Aid Bill, a Senate exten¬
sion of the deadline until mid-
February.

Instead, by a vote of 297 to
98, jt adopted an amendment by
Mr Benjamin- Rosenthal making
the suspension mandatory until

Greece begins Nato withdrawal

IIAK.IAM)

GATHERING

Don’t be vague. Come home to Haig.

From Our Correspondent
Athens, Dec II

Mr Constantine Karamanlis,
the Greek Prime Minister, in¬
formed Parliament today that
he had set in motion the tech¬
nical procedures for Greece’s
military withdrawal from Nato,
as well as for the revision of
die status of American bases in
Greece.

“This does not mean that
Greece proposes to break off
political, cultural, or other rela¬
tions with the West.” he stated.

The Prime Minister was out¬
lining his Governments policy
before the newly-elected Parlia¬
ment. He described todays
session as historical because it
ratified, in a sense, the death
of tyranny and the rebirth of
a working democracy in Greece.

Greece decided to withdraw
from Nato’s military arm last
August because the alliance, as
Mr Karamanlis put it today,
“ fafied to avert and tolerated ”
the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.

-In practice, little has been
done to implement this derision
and hardly any Greek military
personnel serving in Nats head¬
quarters, except Izmir, have
been withdrawn, so far. But the
Prime MijPSWF Vgyeale^ today

that Greece had sent recently
Notes to the parties' concerned
and was taking practical mea¬
sures to implement the with¬
drawal. •

He also requested the revision
of the agreements concerning
American bases in Greece.

Mr Karamanlis said bis
Government would table in
Parliament next week the draft
of a new constitution suitable
for Greek conditions. It is
understood that this will be a
mixture of. the Gaul list .proto¬
type for a republic with a pre¬
sidential rule, counterbalanced
by the substantial powers
granted to the Government in
order to ease its legislative
work. “ It will bolster the exe¬
cutive, without diminishing the
Government's responsibility to¬
wards Parliament”, Mr Kara-
manils explained.

It is now clear that when the
charter is approved within
three or four months, Mr Kara-
manlis will be elected by Parlia¬
ment as the new President of
the Republic. This has naturally
increased the reluctance of Mr
Panayotis KaneUopo ulos, the
respected former Prime Mini¬
ster, .to accept the office _ of
interim President-

Mr Karamanlis, outlining

his government’s foreign policy,
said this was based on national
independence, security and
dignity. He had reassured the
leaders of Cyprus that Greece
would continue to give full sup¬
port to the islanders in ■ their
plight.

He had also pledged that his
Government 'would' not submit
to fails accomplis in Cyprus nor
agree to . solutions that the
nation considered'unacceptable.

There were serious problems
with Turkey affecting vital
Greek interests ■ which the
Government would, not leave
unprotected. Turkey’s, aggres¬
siveness, he said, was ruining
Greek-Turkish friendship. -

“ Greece prefers consultation
to confrontation, buti- knows
how to defend her'national
interesr. The Greek Govern¬
ment always hopes Turkey will
revise her ' provocative be¬
haviour and cease being, .a
threat to peace in this sensitive
region of the world ”, he added,

.The .'Prime Minister saw
Greece integrated in the Euro¬
pean Community and 'playing a
role . in Europe's' unification
effons. However, iri? order to
support an independent foreign
policy, Greece needed a strong
Army.

Our duty (be said) is to use our
reason and to use it well. •

A second argument was that
retribution was called for aod that
the only retribution for this crime
could be death. Retribution was no
different from revenge and the
House had had no business with
revenge.

The business-of-the House was
justice. Justice was that punish¬
ment for the guilty that best pre¬
served the life and the values of
tne innocent.

A woman who banded explosives

from the ghastly images of death
that they drew their inspiration. It
was the abiding characteristic of
the fanatic mind. Destruction did
not perturb them.

The British executed some of the
leaders of the Easter Rebellion and
much good It did them. It saved
nor a life and cost thousands.
(Labour cheers.)

The House could not afford to
overlook the hostage issue. In a
disgraceful interview given by
O’Connell he bad threatened that
for every convicted IRA terrorist
hanged they would hang two Bri¬
tish soldiers. He (Mr Walden)
would release no murderer to save
any hostages.

There was no reason to think the

munity, without which they could
not effectively work. That was his
answer to the case fur restoring
capital punishment.

The price that would be paid for
us rein [reduction was unaccep¬
table. It would even destroy the
royal prerogative of mercy because
the Home Secretary would be
under compulsion to allow execu¬
tions to gu through.

Wc must (he continued) face
hard realitv. Wc must brace our¬
selves to defeat the Provisional
Irish Republican Army and there IS
no short cut to so doing.

MPs wbo voted with him would

She was not interested in ven¬
geance. (Conservative cheers.) She
and other MPs were asking the
House to enact the death penalty
for terrorist murders because they
were convinced that it would derer
and save the lives of innocent peo¬
ple.

She had no wish to kill anyone,
but she had a duty to act in such a
way as would protect people. It
was the first duty of any Govern¬
ment to protect.any citizens, but
when teenagers were blown to bits
over an evening pint, the fact must
be faced that Parliament was fail-
jug in its .duty..

There, were some terrorists who
were prepared to die for their
cause,, buj the bully and the un¬
stable who were being taken into
the IRA to act as Idllers would be
deterred. The paranoid fanatic who
would not be deterred was a rare
bird. Perhaps tbe mail who'was'the
hard-core of the local or national
organization was not often the one
wbo went on' the streets to kill.
He sent others to do that job. .

The threat of imprisonment did
not deter. To be a guaxt of her

sant these days. (Labour protest ..)

Was Mr Walden suggesting that
they should give in to threats by an
IRA spokesman ? When that was
done everyone would be conceding
that rhe IRA would win, and she
would not do that.

If a referendum was taken in
Britain now, or in six months, on
this issue, the overwhelming
number of people would want capi¬
tal punishment restored. (Labour
shouts of “ So what **.)

Labour MPs (she said) say “ so
what ", They are from the party
which says there ought to be a

democracy, and MPs were sup¬
posed to care about what people
.said. If people lost faith, they were
likely to rake the law into their
own hands. Irish people were
already well aware that They would
be the first to suffer if there was a
backlash. She was not being alarm¬
ist, 1 l happened after the Birming¬
ham massacre.

People wanted to know why the
Birmingham bombers were not
charged with treason, for which
the punishment was death.

It seems probable (she said) that
these men were guilty of treason.

terrorist and killed him that that
will reduce the number of people
coming forward to commit such
acts.

It is equally probable that the
fact that you have killed him will
exalt the dread profession of ter¬
rorism from the disgusting thing it
is into an occupation that men
might feel it was honourable .to
perform.

MR HOOSON (Montgomery¬
shire, L) said none of them in the
weekend following the Birmingham
bombings could easily resist tbe
feeling that justice ought to be
meted out to those wbo had caused
death. It was a deep seated human
feeling that there ought to be retri¬
bution—an eye* for an-eye.-a -tooth
for a tooth'. TWs was a perfectly
valid argument, an argument which
at different stages of history many
people had felt compelled to
accept. But it was an argument
which must be rejected in the
modern state.

Many people who supported the
death penalty did so not only in
this debate but had done so in all
the debates he had heard, dressing
up tiie argument and calling it
“deterrent” or “justice 1 * when
really they were giving vent to a
deep seated human feeling which
was understandable and which they
all felt to a greater or lesser
degree.

What reason had they for think¬
ing that the death penalty would
be a deterrent to terrorists ? Most
terrorists were young; they bad
been brainwashed in a variety of
ways and if they were captured the
transformation in their minds
whereby they became ready for
martyrdom was one that was easily
made.

In the course of bis legal career
he had appeared for people, admit¬
tedly very few, -who actually felt
themselves to be deprived when
the death penalty was no longer
there, who actually loved the
macabre side of it. and who
wanted to continue to be the
centre of a drama.

MR AJ8SE (PontypooL. Lab) said
if rhe House accepted the
amendment they could be creating
die conditions where the young of
Northern Ireland embraced tbe gal¬
lows with the same passion as their
grandparents more happily
embraced the Crucifixion. (Conser¬
vative protests.) A return to state
strangulation would be a victory
dol a defeat for the IRA.

The IRA wanted a world'
audience as they staged their psy¬
chopathic theatre. Voting for a
hanging resolution would be book¬
ing a reserved ticket for these

pie . In . the furtherance of their
political opinion and were pre¬
pared to murder to destroy the
state. In such circumstances the
state was entitled to say : “ If yon
did this, you too will die ”.

He accepted that in the sbort
terra tbe re-introduction of the
death penalty would have grave
consequences. There would be hos¬
tages and assassinations but if they
held face tibey would not often be
repeated,

This was war. Unless and until
this country and other countries
proved they bad the will to defend
themselves to the death, terrible as
it might be, their state and their
people would remain art, the mercy
of inter national terrorism.

MR CARTER (Binningbain,
North field. Lab) said today's ques¬
tion was about how they as a
society reacted to what could he a
mere prelude to a period of great
trauma. If they were to over-react
with, a policy of violence to meet
violence they would for the dura¬
tion of their troubles set them¬
selves on a course from which
there was no turning.

MR CHARLES IRVING- (Chel¬
tenham, C) said if total retribution
was to be the policy against the
IRA, had they really got the guts
to go through with it ? Such a
decision would bring appalling
perils for the community and for
law aiid order itself.' Carrying out
executions might prove politically
impossible, even for the most
determined government.

Social rejects

MR RAYMOND FLETCHER
(Ilkeston, Lab) said the acts of
terrorism they were talking about
bad no political objective. What
could be the objective of the IRA
except to stick a flag on the ruins
of Belfast and Dublin ?

There was no ideology, there
was no strategy. It was terrorism
for terroism's sake by degraded
individuals wbo had fonnd a sat¬
isfying way of taking their revenge
on a society in whlcb they had not
been able to make their way. Most
of them were social rejects.

Hanging a terrorists could have
little effect In deterring other fel¬
low terrorists. The roost recent
equivalent of this type of person
was the Kamikaze pilot in the clos¬
ing weeks of the last war.

- SIR DEREK WALKER-SMITH
(East Hertfordshire, C) said it was
possible to distinguish terrorist
murders from ihe generality.

The circumstances attending tne
abolition of the death penalty in
the 19G0s were not paralleled in the
circumstances .of today. Society
must equip itself with the defences
at its command in the hope that
the need for them would be limited
and in the knowledge that their
application would be in the spirit

obscene dramas. The answer to tbe. 0 f the rule of law carried out not
IRA was not hanging, but policies
that would-make them Irrelevant-- •

LORD JAMES DOUGLAS-
HAMILTON (Edinbureh, Wteit,

C), in a maiden speech, sajd that
victory over, the IRA and ven¬
geance might not necessarily be
the same tiling. It might be pos¬
sible that the two were in conflict.

However natural it might be to
demand a return to the old law of
an eye for an eye, surely those

in the spirit of vengeance but in
the defence and for the protection
and survival of a free and fair
society. (Cheers.)

MR CRAIG (Belfast. East,
UUUC) said there was a good case
for a special code of law dealing
with crimes arising out of ter¬
rorism and a central court for
dealing with them.

Those from Ulster could not sup¬
port die death penalty in tbe

instincts should not be allowed to absence of trial by jury, and he

make a victory over the terrorists
harder.

Grave consequences

I fear (he said) that the psycho-

MR EYRE (Birmingham, Hall
Green, C) said people in Birming¬
ham felt that acts of war deserved
the extreme penalty. It was necess¬
ary to support the introduction of
capital punishment as proof of the
state’s right and determination to
defend itself and its people against
acts of war.

MR STODDART (Swindon, Lab)
said -acts of terrorism were not acts
of war. To say that was to glorify
the Birmingham bombings.

If these are acts of war (he said)
we are saying that the people who
have pepetrated them are soldiers.
They are not; they are louts—they
are scum. Furthermore, we do not
execute prisoners of war.

MR MATHER (Esher, C) said
the only way to win this battle of
wills was to persuade the terrorists
that their defeat * was inevitable.
Parliament stood before the court
of the country. If there was
another outrage tbe backlash
which the Home Secretary feared
might become a realiry. People
might begin to take tbe law into
their own hands. How long coaid
Parliament continue to fly in the
face of public opinion ?

MR LITTERICK (Birmingham.
Selly Oak, Lab) said that a proc¬
lamation which he had in his bands
said that the Roman Catholic
Church must be declared an illegal
organization and all Roman Catho¬
lic centres of education must he
closed. This was issued by a reli¬
gious organization in Ireland. He
found this kind of document
shocking to the point at wlii-rti Lis
insides beared.

MR FITT (Belfast. West. SDLP)
said at the moment the IRA were
on the run. Catholics and Protes¬
tants in Northern Ireland were
standing back and defeating them.
This would be a continuing pro¬
cess.

If the House were to support the
restoration of capital punishment
(he said) this would be the biggest
disaster not only in this House, but
in the United Kingdom. -

In Northern Ireland there was a
great emotional value of IRA
funerals. Martyrdom was coming
to an end In Northern Ireland and
restoring the death penalty would
be giving the IRA armoury they
did not hare at present.

SIR FREDERIC BENNETT
(Torbay, C) said as there was no
possibility tbat the Government
would invoke the law of treason,
he nould supper! the amendment.

MR SPRIGGS (St Helens. Lab)
said few people wanted revenge.
Comroonsense was needed to end
the attitude of those who would
hold on to a part of Ireland as a
colony rather than give die Irish a
political settlement and the right
to govern themselves.

SIR NIGEL FISHER (Kingston

r n Thames, Surbiton, C) said
: those who advocated capital
punishment were over-reacting to
the horrifying bombs in Birming¬
ham and Guildford. They had not
demanded the death penalty fur
the bombs in Belfast week after
week for the. past five years.

MR PERCIVAL (Southport, Cl
said they were engaged in a war of
wills. They were dealing with
attacks on their integrity of an
indescribably cowardly, evil and
cruel nature.

The purpose was to break their
spirit and impose upon them oblig¬
ations for fear of the conse¬
quences. That would degrade them

MR KOY JENKINS. Home Secre¬
tary i Birmingham, Stechford.
Latoj, s.iJd since the Tower of Lon¬
don explosion in Juiv he hod tried
to reappraise his attitude to capital
punishment. To do that he had
tried to set asj.de the main argu¬
ments winch influenced him in pre-
terrorist days.

I believe, after the most careful
reflection, that the reintroduction
Of the death penaity, whether for
acts of terrorism alone, whether
for the United Kingdom, as a
whole or in Great Britain alone,
would not merely secure no impro¬
vement, but would in all likelihood
make matters worse.

It would lead to a still greater
threat o( violence that would oth¬
erwise exist. It would mean war¬
rants of death and no warrants of
safety for innocent and, as yet,
unidentified penturu.-

1 believe ihe said; that of alt
classes of killers, dedicated ter¬
rorists arc the least likely to be
deterred bv the threat of execu¬
tion. They have not been deterred

by the killing and counter-killing
in Northern Ireland.

it might be argued that Northern
Ireland was un....!>■. nu,..

streets was different from a cu.d
death on the scaffold.

Is it suggested the said) that wc
should resrore capital punishment
for Great Britain and nui tor
Northern Ireland ? That would
seem tu be an extraordinary prop¬
osition. i Cheers.)

1 am (he said) totally without a
shred of sympathy lor thuse who
perpetrate outrages such as we
have seen. 1 suppose 1 have seen
them more than u!m>i.t any
member of this House. I have no
desire to preserve the lives of
those who perpetrate such horrible
acts but I have a desire when
dealing with an enemy not to play
into his hands, i Labour cheer-;, j
1 am as convinced as I can be
that were this House to vote lor
the amendment it would be
regarded not as a defeat or a
deterrent by the IRA but as a
victory. (uahi-ur -n'l.r, and
Conservative interruptions.) Let us
pi»y uo port in giving tautn such a

victory-

You cannot (he said) hang land¬
ladies, mothers who shelter their
sons, or women who shelter their
husbands. (Conservative interrup¬
tions-) You would have a total
revulsion of feelingl
One of the essential battles in
this fight against terrorism, in
which die police are doing very
well, is to prevent any significant
part of the Irish community wish¬
ing to give cover to terrorists and,
indeed, to encourage them to help
flush them out. That battle is going
well at the moment. It would go
less well if the death penalty were
returned- There would be more
temptation to cover up.

The Secretary of State for North¬
ern Ireland (Mr Merlyn Rees) was
in no doubt that there was no
place, either in principle or in
practice, for capital punishment in
Northern Ireland.

There was also the statement
roi-io by Mr William Whitelaw, the
former Secretary of State. A
reieutionist he had moved
the abolition of the death penalty
In Northern Ireland.

MR WHITELAW (Penrith and
The Border, C) said it would be
wrong if he did not tell the House
what bis position was at present.
To leave anyone in any doubt
would be entirely wrong. He, like
other MPs, had considered care¬
fully tbe new position. He. had
thought deeply about public
opinion and had concluded that he
would wish to stand by the views
he had expressed then. (Labour
cheers.)

In that he knew the then Prime
Minister (Mr Heath) concurred.

Having worried very much about
his position, he would vote for the
motion and against the amend¬
ment. (Loud Labour cheers.)

MR JENKINS said he saluted Mr
Whitelaw's courage and forthright-
nesx.

The Cnmmiisiuner of Police for
the Metropolis had rightly and cau¬
tiously said that there was no col¬
lective police view on capital
punishment and that no uno could
properly purport to express one.
But be had also said that of the six-
most senior officers of the Metro¬
politan Police, five were opposed
to the return of capital punish
ment. The five included tbe
Commissioner, rhe Deputy
Commissioner and the Assistant
Commissioners (Crime pad Oper
a cions i. All were long serving pro¬
fessional policemen with extensive
practical experience. The senior
operational detective was of the
same view.

The Commissioner had been
greatly influenced hy his own view
on effective deterrents. Those he
regarded as the likelihood of detec¬
tion followed by, for the guilt)',
the certainty nf conviction. The
Commissioner thought that that
process would he weakened by
capital punishment.

The Commissioner thought the
majority verdicts would nave tn
go. As the authority of majority
verdicts which were carried
through the House with cun.iiiicr-
a Me opposition. He i Mr Jenkins)
agreed. Once they began to sav a
\ordict was not good enough for
one form of offence and punish-
meni. it became difficult to detjnd
it fur others as well.

The Commissioner also belie-.c<I.
majority verdicts apart, that juries
would in general be more hesitant
to convict for the capital sentence.
He agreed with the Commissioner.

Let no one he tn any doubt of
the deterrent effect of 'a .long un-
drama tic prison sentence.

SIR K. JOSEPH—The IRA do
nor believe they will be lefr in
prison for Jong. There is no effec¬
tive deterrence in the present sys¬
tem at the moment because of the
believe in a political bargain.

MR JENKINS—Let no one
believe there is no real deterrence
in a long umlramatic prison sen¬
tence. Some Opposition MPs, by
pressing the view, which I believe
to be wholly false, that terrorists
will get out of prison in a short
time, have done great damage. Let
no one be in any douhe that in my
dew, and no Home Secretary can
bind bis successor, there is no
prospect of amnesties for those
who have committed cold-blooded
and indiscriminate mordor or
maimings in this country.

He did not discount the doubts
and fears of those who hesitated
against going against what
appeared to be Lhe wishes of their
constituents. He did not dismiss
that as cowardice or mere popu¬
larity seeking. Nonetheless it
would be wrong to rake a decision
on that basis.

For those convinced of the value
of the death penalty there was no
problem. For others it might be
reasonable to vote in accordance
with outside views if they were
convinced that hanging, even if It
did not do any good, could at least
do no harm. But that was not the
position.

It is my view (he said) and
nearly everybody who has had high
responsibility in dealing with this
new and horrible challenge that
the potentiality for greater vio¬
lence is formidable. Nothing we
can do will guarantee us complete
safety whatever course we take. It
is likely there will be some further
outrages.

The amendment -was rejected by
369 voces to 217—majority against
the amendment, 152. The motion
was agreed to.

would find It difficult to accept a
majority decision for capital
punishment. But despite all his
reservations he must vote for the
amendment-

Summit outcome
make it easier for UK
to remain in Community

F. a ropean Parliament
Luxembourg

DR GARRET FITZGERALD.
Minister F"r Foreign Affairs,
Rcnublic of Ireland, giving tus
report on the summit conference,
spoke of his hopes that there
would be a positive response when
the results of tbe renegotiations
were put to tbe British people.

There was a positive approach
the said) id tbe questions posed by

the British Government. The
atmosphere, discussion and the
outcome have given encourage¬
ment to all of us who arc con¬
cerned that wc should remain a
Community of Nine, and that the
United Kingdom will find it cosy to
maintain its membership.

It was not a bad package to have
emerged from a meeting which
many of tbe ministers felt might
rum out to be a damp squib.

One of the important decisions
was that the beads of Government
would meet three times a year,
and, whenever necessary, in the
Council of the Communities and in
the context of political cooper¬
ation. This would secure a stronger
momentum to the work of the-
Community and bring the coun¬
tries into closer cooperation on
economic affairs.

He was glad that the First of
these meetings would take place in
Dublin early next year when there
would be a review of the economic
situation. Although there had been
divergent diagnosc-s of rhe
problem-, facmg tbe Community,
he was deeply encouraged by the
unanimity shown at the summit.

For the first rime for many
months, he felt there was hope of
avoiding a serious economic crisis
and be was encouraged by the
undertakings given by The Nether¬
lands and Germany that these gov¬
ernments would lake the necessary
rcfl3tionary action to stimulate
public and private investment
which at the moment was so badly
needed.

With two reservations, there was
a decision that elections by univer¬
sal suffrage to the European Par¬
liament should be achieved as soon
as possible. (Cheers.) The heads of
Government had in mind that the
Parliament would he debating pro¬
posals for this, framed by Mr
Patijn, in the new year but it was
intimated that tile Council of
Ministers would wish to act Id
1976. Mr Patijn proposed that
direct elections should be held by
1960.

The Council of Ministers (be
went on) in one of its rare
moments of moving ahead of the
Parliament in these matters have in
fact said that these elections by
direct suffrage should take place at
any time in or after 1978.
(Cheers.)

MR PATIJN (Netherlands, Soc)
—I will change my report.
(Cheers.)

MR FITZGERALD—1 am glad
that has been offered by the author
of the report. (Laughter.)

In connexion with the question
of increasing the powers of Parlia-

lifi? of the Community would, make
it imperative for the institutions to
find "equitable solutions ”, It was
agreed tbat the Commission should
fet up a mechanism which would
have general epnlication setting
out the objective criteria which
would be taken into account when
such occasions arose, noting the
particular suggestions made by the
British Government.

We believe (he said) this CPU Id
proride the basis for an important
development which could help con¬
siderably to resolve soon the
problems posed for the rest of ns
hy the uncertainty of Britain's
membership of the community.

M SPENALE (France, Sod said
that his group hoped the summit
had set things moving.

M DURIEUN (France, L) said
the summit had at last given a
fresh impetus to the Community.

MR PETER KIRK (UK. Saffron
Walden, C) said that there was a
vicious circle concerning the
powers nf Parliament and direct
elections to it.

We are told that you cannot
have powers unless you have repre¬
sentative functions (he said) and
that we cannot have representative
pnwcrs unless we have those func¬
tions.

MR LENIHAN (Ireland, DEP)
welcomed the communique on the
summit as evidence of a will for
political union.

M ANSART (France, Comm)
a-ked h*iw rhe problem of general
unemployment was to be solved. -

MR RADOUX (Belgium, Soc)
snid that there could be no
Community without the United
Kingdom. The focinlisc had never
wanted a Community without the
Untied Kingdom, and .if his inter¬
pretation or the words of the com¬
munique on this, that they seemed
to have hecn making a few steps
towards each other, was correct,
then the socialists were satisfied
with what had happened at the
summit.

DR FITZGERALD. replying,
said that the contrast between
Paris and the previous summit at
Copenhagen left him in a relatively
optimistic humour.

We have made modest but signif¬
icant progress (be said) in a wider
area than many anticipated. We
are in a position to build on that
and we have a lot of building to do
before we create Europe.

There had been a clear con¬
sciousness at the summit on the
viciousness of the circle to which
Mr Kirk had referred. Both powers
and election would have to be
instituted at tbe same time.

M FRANCOIS-XAVIER ORTOLl,
President of the Commission, said
that for the first time there had
been serious discussion at the
summit on election of MPs by
direct universal suffrage.

It is obvious to me as it must be
to you ihe said) that we want
Great Britain with us in the in¬
terests of the Community.

LORD GLADWYN (United King-

ment, in our discussions there was dom, L) said that he would con-

a clear recognition by the heads of
Government of the undesirability,
even the impracticability, of hav¬
ing direct elections for a Parlia¬
ment which had inadequate
owers. (Cheers.) The relationship
ictween the powers of Parliament
and direct elections was recog¬
nized.

If our problems are to he over¬
come (he said) both must be done
at once.

On the question of Britain’s con¬
tinued membership, tbe meeting
had a clear statement of the basis
on which the British Prime Minis¬
ter approached the negotiations
and It was pointed out to Itim that
in the accession negotiations it was
made clear that “ if inequitable
situations were to arise, the very

gratuiate Mr Wilson on what he
had achieved, as shown in the com-
mur.io.ue. He had gathered that in
London Mr Wilson and Mt Callag¬
han had expressed disappointment
but they could not have expected
much more than the agreement to
set up j correcting mechanism and
iT that was on the basis set out in
the communique, be could ntft
think what a British Government
would have to worry about in 1980.

M ORTOLl said that when Par¬
liament was elected it must be able
to express its authority more
strongly. They could not, however,
act to link these two matters for¬
mally.

The debate concluded, but It was
derided to debate tbe results of the
summit again at the next meeting,
in January.

Desperate
need for
transplant
kidneys

MR DAL YELL (West Lothian,
Li ib) was given leave to bring in a
Bill to allow hospitals to lake the
organs, such as kidneys, ul any
patient, once clinical death had
been established, other than those
of a deceased person who bad con¬
tracted ont during bis lifetime by
registering, on a central computer,
his desire not to donate organs.

He said it was the fifth time
since 1971 that he had sought leave
to introduce tbe Bill. The Bill was
prompted by the fact that 450 kid¬
neys were being transplanted each
year in the United Kingdom
whereas 2,000 people or more
needed transplants. For want of
matching tissue several transplan¬
tation centres bad virtually ceased
work and there was not a single
unit in the United Kingdom work¬
ing to full capacity or anything like
it. The most important factor was
the attitude of most of the medical
profession but it was all too easy
to start blaming the doctors.

The argument behind the Bill
was that if the doctors saw tbe law
in a different light and i: was
altered in the direction of contract¬
ing out, they would be less uneasy
about making organs available.

As things stood, the doctor or
surgeon had to contact the next of
kin at the time of maximum grief
and put the awful question : “ Can
we have the organs of your loved
one ? ” But if the question was
delayed the organ deteriorated and
became less useful to someone in
need and after an hour a kidney
became useless.

In a contracting out situation as
envisaged by the Bill, a telephone
call to the computer in Bristol
could determine whether a victim
during his lifetime had contracted
out. Delay and deterioration of
organs could be cut to a minimum.

All transplant surgeons could
ci*c cases where relatives at first
refused and then changed their
minds when it was too late. The
present system discouraged even
the most public spirited. It was
distressing for the relatives, diffi¬
cult for the doctors, and stopped
life being saved-

Despite the Issue of donor cards,
few kidneys had been taken from
donors or potential donors carry¬
ing cards. He had never had any
great hope of the donor card sys¬
tem in the first place.

The Bill, ir acceptable to the
House, would make clear that
before any organ could be removed
either clinical death or brain
damage would have to be certified
by two doctors neither of whom
would be a member of the trans¬
plant team.

Let us (he said) put ourselves In
the position of having a child or
teenager who is going to die In the
absence of matching tissue.
Would not every one ot me a' a
parent be desperate to find match¬
ing tissue for a child of ours ?

The Bill was read a first time.

Constraints on spending
by British Rail

House of Lords

The Bishops of Worcester and
Oxford were Introduced.

LORD SOMERS (Indj, opening a
debate on the future of the rail¬
ways, said tbey were the best
means of transport and by far tbe
safest. The public must be
encouraged to use them. Pas¬
sengers mostly wanted comfort and
a sense of being looked after, but
tbe two London termini he used,
Waterloo and Victoria, were woe¬
fully lacking in this respect.
Neither had a waiting room.

He had been foolisb enough the
other night to ask for a cup of
coffee in a cafeteria by Platform
Nine at Victoria. He did not know
what it was made of, but it tasted
like yesterday’s washing up water.
And k bad cost lip— 2s 2d in oid
money.

LORD CHAMPION (Lab) said
that as a former signalman he dep¬
lored the action of a small group
of signalmen which was causing so
much difficulty aud distress to so
many people who bad to rely on
rail transport to get to and from
work.

LADY BIRK, Under Secretary
for tbe Environment, said that to
try at a time of severe economic

difficulties to remedy ail the neg¬
lect of years would be wrong and
would have unacceptable effects on
other public expenditure pro¬
grammes equally or more desir¬
able.

We shall be discussing plans
with British Rail (she said) in the
light of the forthcoming expend¬
iture and their corporate plan but
British Roil cannot expect to be
exempt from the constraints which
apply to all other public expend¬
iture.

Only rail could handle the heav¬
iest commuter traffic so a con¬
tinuing programme of improve¬
ments on Southern Region was
needed. So were new schemes in
other major urban areas.

There were no firm proposals for
new electrification schemes but
they knew the board had plans for
more electrification. Those would
be considered when submitted in
the context of current economic
circumstances.

It was true that many stations
were grim and grubby. On rhe
other hand, there were some extre¬
mely clean and good stations.
There bad been new buildings in
many areas and the service was not
always as bad and the punctuality
did not descend uniformly to
examples picked out.

Floodlight ban would be austere

The EARL of PERTH (C) asked
what was the annual cost of flood¬
lighting the Houses of Parliament
and tbe GLC building.

LORD MELCHETT, a Lord in
Waiting—Tbe annual cost in
respect of the Palace of Westmins¬
ter is estimated to be £2,270. I am
unable to supply the information
in respect of the Greater London
Council for which the Government
are not responsible.

The EARL of PERTH—While
thanking bim for a partially illu¬
minating reply— (.laughter)—
assuming that the GLC cost Is at
least as much the total cost of
floodlighting in London alone must
be of the order of £250,000 or
more. Unless the Government and
GLC set an example it is hardly

likely that the ordinary citizen will
heed the request to “ put out that
light

LORD MELCHETT—The Gov¬
ernment do all tbey can to con¬
serve electricfiy. Measures have
already been taken by using high
pressure sodium lamps in lighting
the Palace of Westminster which
have dramatically cut the cost and
the amount of power consumed.

The Government have decided
not to ban the floodlighting oF
buildings and statues at this time
because in their view this would
make life unnecessarily austere-
The whole energy situation will be
watched closely. If more severe
measures are required the Govern¬
ment will not hesitate to take
them.

LADY LLEWELYN-DAVTES of
HASTOE, Captain, Gentleman-ac-
Arms, and Government Chief
Whip, announced that tomorrow
(Thursday) in the -debate an Lord
Hum’s motion on capital punish¬
ment and terrorism, the list of
speakers had grown long, and if
there should he a vote it would
take place probably in the early
hours of the morning. It had heeb
suggested that this would not be in
tiie best interests of the House or
of this important subject.

There bad been talks about the
difficulties Involved and Lord Hunt
nad asrecd that the best solution
miclit be to move his motion In n
different form. He now proposed
to introduce a motion calling for
pape-rs in these words: “ To call
attention to capital punishment as
a means of combating terrorism ”.

LORD PLATT—Does that mean
no vote will be taken ?

LADY LLEWELYN-DAVIES—
Yes.

LORD PLATT—We will not
know the view of the House.

LADY LLEWELYN-DAVIES—
Some 37 or 40 peers will be making
their views well known. The
country will be well aware of the
views of the House.

LORD PANNELL (Lab)—'The
position of the House will be deri¬
sory if the Commons has taken a
vote and we do not-

LADY LLEWELYN-DAVTES—I
do not accept that. What might be
derisory would be if a small and
um-ppreser-rarive vote should be
taken in the early hours of the
morning.

LORD CARRINGTON (Cl—If
any peer wishes a division It is
proper and right that he could put
down an amendment on which a
division could take place. It is also
true that peers can divide whether
a debate has ended or not, if the
House so wishes.

LADY LLEWELYN-DAVIES—
That is true.

Dr Kissinger best hope in

LORD CHELWOOD (C), open¬
ing a debate on the growing need
for a just and lasting peace in the
Middle East, said the European
Community could have much more
influence than was realized if an
initiative were taken. Both sides In
the Middle East could have secur¬
ity and national identity. That was
tile only basis for peace, and the
Government, with the United
States and the Community, should
try to ensure this.

LORD SAINSBURY (Lab) said
there coula be no just and lasting
peace in the Middle East without
appreciation of the fears of the
Israelis that they were being sac¬
rificed on the altar of oil.

The EARL of COWRIE (C) said there might be'room and oppor-
he feared roost the Middle Fast tunity for an initiative by the EEC
- *>-=—■- -jj should not cut across the con¬
tinuing American attemot. The
best hope was Dr Kissinger’s tire¬
less and skilful diplomacy.

money weapon. Britain needed
long-term investment. The Govern¬
ment must try to help to forge a
common European policy towards
the energy producers.

LORD FISHER of CAMDEN,
President of the Board of Deputies
of British Jews in Britain, m a
maiden speech, said it was enr the
side engaging in terrorism to give
it up. In the eyes of impartial
observers, Jerusalem had never
been so well cared for.

LORD GORONWY-ROBERTSs
Under Secretary for Foreign and
Commonwealth Affairs, said while

We are stiU ready (he said) to
lend a hand if the parties wish it
but it would not help to move into
an area where one or other of the
parties might resent what they con¬
sidered to he an inmislon.

Britain had r.ot acquiesed in the
eraming of observer stares to the
PLO. She had voted against"
observer status for the organiz¬
ation.

House adjourned, 9.54 pm.

• Thelma Russell runs a Jittle
business called Knots and her
products are bracelets, collars,
necklaces and long chokers
made of natural materials like
coloured string, knotted and
larded with beads of wood,
glass, ceramics, etc. She does
Occasionally use rayon aud one
type of plastic bead that she
considers to be of good quality
and she also makes belts,
basically for the young but
there are plenty of older women
who like what she does. Her
ready-made pieces are from
around 35p or 45p for narrow
ropes of knots and beads, going
up to 70p with tassel]ed pend¬
ants and either wooden or
ceramic beads. Bracelets can
match or contrast and pendants
on leather thongs are entirely
unisex. Really heavy cord
belts, about 2)in wide, fastened
with plaited tassels are good
with simple, long hostess
dresses and are either £3 or
£3.30 according to size.

Miss Russell undertakes
special, personal projects for
people with unused beads
(probably about £3). She
charges 5p postage for
“ jewelry ” and lOp for belts,
refunding any excess if the
postage proves less. Her work
is attractive, unusual, and
inexpensive — I like snme
chokers of merallic threads
with second-hand beads. She

well, the shortage of

Hardback (gold embossed) £20.00

This monumental work is not only one of the best¬

ture : it is at once a book of wisdom and instruction
for the Sufi mystics, a product of sheer genius as
poetry, and a book of divination.

“ Hafiz has been to millions of people since the
fourteenth century what Shakespeare is to us . . .
such riches might even now inspire poets as they

Neat Friday Christopher Lee
makes his first appearance in a
James Bond film when The Man
with the Golden Gun opens at
the Odeon, Leicester Square.
He is Scaramanga, the owner of
that golden gun, and Lee plays
the role lightly, urbanely, with
a smile on the killer’s face,
which might surprise those who
followed him over the years
scowling among- the coffins. He
rlaima that he has not seen the
finished version of the picture
yet, but lets slip that he is
reasonably satisfied with the
performance. He has every
reason to be: he and the camera
crew carry off the major
hono'irs of the movie.

Oddly, it has taken Lee, who
has played villains by the score,
a long rime to move into Bond-
land.

to time to tease he’d say ‘Why
don’t you appear in a Bond
movie ? ’. And Pd reply, ‘ Why
don’t you suggest me ? ’ When
eventually the offer did come
along there was no refusing it.
The Bond pictures are one of
the few 100 per cent guaranteed
box-office successes being made
at the moment: the production
values are there, you are not
faced with any cheeseparing,
and at the end of the day you’ll
be appearing on the screens of
practically every country in the
world. The actor has a ready¬
made vehicle in the series—all
he has to do is to deliver the
goods.”

Mr Lee delivers very nicely,
but admits that the idea of turn¬
ing Scaramanga into . an almost
school boyish villain came from
the director, Guy Hamilton.

“ When I first read the script
X visualized Scaramanga as a
straight-down-the-middle heavy.
The villains are always the
centre of curiosity in Ian’s
books: Bond doesn’t change but
they do. But I must agree that
Scaramanga is not one of his
most impressive murderers, tan
was already ill when he wrote
Golden Gun and I think he
knew that the wells of his
imagination were beginning. to
run a hit dry.'

u So Guy and I, after a lot of
talk, decided to make Scara¬
manga a little like Bond him¬
self, a counter-Bond if you like;

Well, you could have fooled me.
In spite of all the disavowals it
was impossible to believe that
this play on Tuesday did not re¬
flect the ill-starred marriage of
Marilyn Monroe with Arthur
Miller, who wrote it. Yet for all
the attention given to that be¬
forehand. the matter scarcely
arose. For the play dealt so
graphically and so unerringly
with the umversals of human
-relationships that debate about
its origins in particular people
seemed academic and even
superfluous.

If you wanted a theme for this
long and complex drama you
could say that it was one roan’s
search for self-respect. Quentin,
an American lawyer, is appalled
at the concentration camps in
Europe but is caught up in the
witch hunt at home, for he and
his friends go back to the days
when they were young and Red.

appetizing thug' of the novel.
He's the fastest gun in the East.
When we were out filming in
Thailand down on the Andaman
Sea Guy kept on saying.-to-
Roger Moore and myself, .
‘Enjoy it, enjoy it I Lightly!
Lightly I ’ And enjoy it we did.
With the exception of Billy
Wilder, who is unquestionably
the greatest director I’ve ever,
worked with, no one has given,
me more help - than . Guy,',
although this is the first picture
I’ve'made with him.”

Scaramanga represents a dell-,
berate effort on Christopher
Lee’s part to' move away from
the gothic films he is normally
associated with, as indeed was
Rochefort in The Three Muske¬
teers, another of 1974’s most
entertaining movies. He has
played Dracula seven times in-
15 years and was slightly- cross
when the other day another
newspaper doubled those seven
Draculas to 14.

“ Yes, of course I have been,
typecast in the film industry,
but it was a way to achieve
international recognition. Those
Draculas and Other fiends have
spread over a large number of
different countries; it is fatal
for an actor to be known only,
at home. Fve moved about a
bit. playing in German films,
doing The Hand; of Qrlac in
French and in making

a movie for Jerome SavmryV

He is sickened by the hypo-,
crisies to which he must sub¬
scribe and shudders at 'the
hollow reality of honour, truth'
and the like. With one marriage
ended he drifts into another
with a little telephonist turned
successful singer, only *» be the
unwitting instigator and the'
hapless -witness of her tragic
decline. And through k-aH he
never ceases to question and to:
ponder, to hope for .a moment
and to despair. -

In the end there fa the pros?
pea of an honest relationship
with a survivor of the Nash.
Understanding comes out of
pain. But enough is enougb. Mr 1
Miller’s solution to his man’s
predicament is less persuasive
than his statement of it. But'
the statement is plain indeed..

“During the past two .years-
I’ve been trying to prove that
I am not an actor to be con¬

Every artist must be versatile ;
the problem comes in .finding
ways of proring that versatility.

Who’s Who in Hell
Lunt-Fontannei
New York :

GUfeBames -

Peter Ustinov is a man of so
many talents that they keep
setting- in one another’s way.
Has new play Who’s Who in
Hell, - at the LuncForaanne
iheatre, has a certain style to it,
.but rije- wyde is virtually all. We
could, have done with less art
and more'matter.

The idea of the play Is

characteristically . ... . brilliant.

Ustinov has' never been short of

drtunfctic posaftUflies. Herd he
sets Ks scene m a wuitiog room .
■m. hep—shades .of. Sartre’s Huts
Clos. ' It is "a well-appointed

r m lnit^indc^ ' £

rig gin g‘is perhaps^tbe rarest joy
Of-the play.

'- Three people -are the new in¬
mates? -an American President
Cwho; seems joac a Rede like

Richard M- Nixon), a Russian
leader {who, yes, seems just a
little Hfcp Nikita Khrushchev)
and a young American assassin.
The young American, a dean-
cue kid vast a naughty gun,
killed damn both, before secret
service bullets mowed him to
the ground. It aU happened in -
Disneyland. - Unfortunately
Disneyland is indeed the level
bf Ustinov’s play. -.

Ustinov has always been an
extraordinarily easy and deft
writer. His very,first play, pro¬
duced: nearly 30 years ago. The
House of Regrets, revealed, as-
I. recall, a Certain theatrical
sweetness. It was a milk-and-
water study of Russians in Lon¬
don, and it had a fleeting
honesty that still. remains. In the.
memory. In his two best-koewn
plays. The Love of Four
Colonels and Romanoff, and
Juliet, Ustinov attempted poll-.
tical plays, but. not very
seriously.

Who's Whoin Hell is again’
an attempt at a political play;'
but once again not very seri¬
ous. Ustinov obviously - wants
to write a political, satire, but
he never really wants -to take
sides. In so many «i his plays-
he takes up the odd position of
political satirist who has no very
firm political beliefs. . He sub:
stitutes for anger a wry irony, ,
and it just does not work.^ .

This new play is .ell the time
trying to say something not just
amusing but important, and-all

LSO/Pritchard/Price:
Albert Hall -

AlaaBIytli .

Once again a programme - that
would have played to a Hold¬
out Albert Hall in the Prom
season produced a sea of empty,
places as a • winter concert.
Those that came on Tuesday
were rewarded, and surely
warmed, by Margaret Price’s
singing of Mozart and. Rossini.

As a Mozart interpreter, her
name is already made here and
abroad. Her Rossini, until this
occasion, was an unknown qaan-:.
tity. She chose- Semiramide’s
“ Bel raggfo ”, always an un- '
nerving test of - coloratura
ability... For.' an .acknowledged
Constanze, its-runs and turns
present few .problems, but rt is
hot.often that dne.bears. Rossini
sung, with -such- opulent tone
allied to such. faultless techm- .
cal control. Some great names -
o€ the .past came to miod. It is
hardly. worth quoting them.
when, such an obviously indivi¬
dual singer as Miss Price can
-stand on her own reputation.

If and’when she sings the role
on the stage (a sensible opera
house would mount the work
'specially, 'for .her), she will
allow herself' a little more
licence in die matter of rubato
and playing with small nuances.
Most singers, however, attempt
those things before they have

the time Ufa being reduced to.,
a level., of inteHectual- triviality.
Ustinov ' dearly believes that
everyone fa right, and that yon
must not offend anyone, especi¬
ally a theatregoer. It is poor

philosophy.

The major influence on
Ustinov as very clear. He is.
trying to offer us a Bernard
Shaw for our- tmie—wita
Shaman -.wit and Shavian .di**
lecric. I* does not work. la tots-
play he tries to describe the
way men of, power, even ui
moments of such' crisis as death, -
can define, delineate. and, even,
exploit sou* power. ..

Ustinov is wanung a political
play but ius political stance «
boldly. and defiantly neutral.

. Shew fek passionate uboar
equals. His' stage' debates uoay
nowadays seem contrived.. But
they were-about genuine issues.-
Ustinov takes ibe fabric of
Shaw, the inverted confronta¬
tion, the deathly pseudo-
“pigrivai Che . argumentative
balance that makes every
theatre into'A law-court, and
does nothing with it His jokes
explode with 'empty squelches
and his political arguments are
butterflies too drab arid too
ordinary to attract the alteration
of. the .most promiscuous lepi-

dopceriet. .

' Yet Ustinov always does one
thing right. He has a gsfa for
writing for people. In bis very
bear play Photo Finish, this
was vidually enough, and even
. here lovers of acting will find
something -to love. .-Ellis Rabb -

However, a new exhibition at

pots the case for the book de¬

It is a display of the books'and

brates the donation of bis per¬
sonal archive to the library.

Nevertheless, as an etinWrion

Australian
to help out

Gerald too. Western Australia,
Dec 11.—The MCC cricketers
drafted an Australian bowler into
their team but still only managed
a draw in their one-day match
against a West Australian Country
Xi here today.

The bowler was a West
Australian Colts player, Peter
Broosdop, who came into the side
at the last minute when Hendrick
was taken to hospital after the
team arrived here. After an hour-
long flight from Perth Hendrick
went down with a throat infection
and spent the day in hospital

undergoing tests.

MCC batted first and declared at
214 for six, after reversing the
batting order apart from the open¬
ing batsmen, Luckhurst and
Lloyd. Luckhurst was top scorer
with 76 not out but the liveliest
innings came from Greig who hit
31 in 10 balls with three sixes,
three fours and a single before
be was the sixth man out.

The Country XI never looked
like making the runs in the rime
available but they did well to
hang on for the draw against some 1
bumper bowling by Greig in the
last four overs. The last-wicket
pair, Gifford, and Stephens defen¬
ded grimly in the last four overs,
putting on 37 in an unbeaten stand
to deny MCC the morale-lifting
win they needed in their last
match before the second Test,
starts in Perth on Friday.

Bronsdon, who was 12th man to
the last MCC side to play 'Western
Australian Country, took one
wicker in the three overs he
bowled. The match ended with
Western Australia Country on 153
for nine.

Northern challengers supported
in sponsored events at Ascot

By Jim Snow

Xot surprisingly the two
northern challengers for Ascot’s
two big sponsored races on Satur¬
day, Tartan Ace from Arthur
Stephenson's stable and Canadius
from Gordon Richards's have
lately come in for strong support
for the SGB Handicap Steeple*
chase and the SGB Handicap
Hurdle.

The form of Tartan Ace, this
season and the one before, has
been pygeManr. in Ireland in
1973 he won the Irish Distillers
Grand National at Fairybouse arid
five other races, and after he had
come over to join Arthur Stephen¬
son’s Durham stable he won three
races in succession for bis new
trainer. The most Important of
these was the £6.000 Whitbread
Northern Gold Trophy at Hay-

dock Park. Tartan Ace fs only
seven years of age, but he has
gone on the right way as he
showed three weeks ago in the
Sundew Steeplechase at Havdock
Park. There he met Peadil at

level weights of U sc 12 Xb over
three miles, and put up a fine per¬
formance to be beaten only two
and a half lengths by Fred
Winter's champion. Red Rum was
12 lengths away. t hu d.

If this form is accepted at face
value. Tartan Ace is some two or

three pounds only behind Peodll.
in consequence Pendil would be
han d trapped at 11 St 3 lb in
Ascot’s big race os Saturday.
From this mark bookmakers
could be forgiven for shotting up
shop until the next event. But
there is always a danger in relying
on the form of a condition race,
such as the Sundew Steeplechase,
when it comes to assessing die
prospects of a placed horse in so
comped tire a handicap as the
SGB. Many fingers have been
burnt over many years in making
a marriage between condition
races and handicap form. It is a
pit into which a large number of
speculators fall every year.

But the fact remains that Tartan
Ace, fully on merit, finished less
titan three lengths behind the best
three-mile steeplechaser in . the
country, ami bookmakers have
insured themselves, against his
victory at Ascot by offering him
only at 2-1 against. Canadius stands
at 12-1 for the SGB Handicap
Hurdle. He has won both his races
this season and seven in all for
Gordon Richards'* Cumberland
sable.

He recently had five lengths in
his favour when winning the £ 2.000
Yellow Pages Long Distance Hurdle
at Wolverhampton, and with
list 91b be might go dose to this

third victory In succession.-

Mr Christopher Patterson has in
the last fortnight lost two meetings
of which he is Clerk of the Course.
Sedge field 10 days ago was water¬
logged and today’s Carlisle meet¬
ing was called off yesterday at mid¬
day for the same reason. Uttoxeter

if there is more rain or sleet and

snow showers, racing would be in
jjeopardy, It is certain that the
going will be extremely heavy.

a 5—4 aggregate victory.
Re- Derby County bitter

\ protest to tlefa. To give
•1 much sympathy however.
»less than honest, for this

e score at A — 4 —Velez
Ine and underrated team,
tame echoed around the
-tained surrounding hills
walls of this - city of
jah empire, Bajevic, who
truing to the Velez team
ay weeks injured. Locally
seen as a “ prince ” re¬
in restore his team des-
3—1 defeat at Derby. Un¬
ix . all but. one of their
itches this season, Velez
the Yugoslav World Cup
.» make them bolder. And
"id, tall, commanding, a
presence, he spread his
on a grotesquely uneven
ressing the ball as if on
g green and finally scar-
winning penalty. With
t fast mover along the
e, and Halihodtc, a bard
ally, be put Derby’s early
oded defensive intentions
liatc danger.

15 David Mac Ray, the
inager, had said be would
ted if no goals were
t the first half bour, die
1 just as I suspected, a
lerestimate of die quality
Bajevic contrived to see
>y were a goal down after 1
res and two within that
irst 30 minutes,
aore ironically. Gem mill,
in who has said be would
msible. for keeping the

players cool, gave a wav the first
goal when Bajevic bit the ball
across the goalmouth to Vukoje.
Gem mill seemed to have the ball,
but losr it and slid on into Vukoje
crashing him into the mud. There
wns no point in appealing against
that penalty decision and Prim ora c
scored although Boulton got a
touch without enough power to
stop it going in.

Derby were immediately in a
ponderous situation, not knowing
whether to abandon rite defence
of a lead that had so soon dwindled
to a single goal. Their uncertainty
proved in favour of Velez who'kept
going forward, and in the 30th
minute VLidlc took a corner and
Boulton punched direct to.Pecelj
who brought the ball down on his
chest before sinking in a goal that
brought the score to 3-3 on aggre¬
gate with Velez in the comfortable
position of having an away goal in
their castle keep.

It disturbed and without the
initiative to grasp the game in
midfield. Derby drifted into irrita¬
bility, Daniel and Hector havinc
their names taken before, in the
51st minute, they seemed to be
offered the chance of coming
back when VTadic from two yards
outside the penalty area, fairly
blasted a shot with the outside of
his foot. The ball rose, then dipped,
dangerously. Boulton made a gym¬
nastic leap to fist the ball up and
onto the bar, bur it was moving so
fast that it.finished up in the net
in any case.

Derby’s remaining hope lay in
complete composure under all of
their difficulties including their
own inability to keep confident
possession. Mr Mackay's recent
tactical use of substitutes has been
decisive, yet here it seemed a token
measure when Davies took over
from Bourne who had earlier hurt
tris head. However, the decision
did have some effect, because just
before the bour Davies headed
down for Hector to slide in a goal
that rerived hope.

The Velez goalkeeper takes hold of a cross while Davies, the
Derby substitute, follows up io hope.

Now with the tic back on a
razor's edge, Derby were re¬
prieved. Newton slapped the hall
against a post and Boulton saved
them, diving yards across goal to
stop a splendid far curncr ground
shot by Vukoje. The test turned
from skill, in which Velez bad
proved themselves earlier but
Derby were now becoming equally
as good, to stamina. Yet in the
end, neither skill nor stamina
lurried the match but a referee’s
doubtful decision.

Hadziabdic, the best defender on
the field, made a late sprint Into
the Derby penalty area and attemp¬
ted a shot that hit Todd's arm—
there seemed no intention to
handle but the referee gave the
penalty and the great local hero.

Bajevic, was given the job of tak¬
ing a perfect shot past Boulton. A
harsh moment perhaps but the re¬
sult was not unjustified and leaves
Britain with only one representa¬
tive in Europe. Leeds United in
the European Cup.

Mr Mackay said afterwards that
they would protest to Uefta about
the referee's handling of the whole
game. He thought they were
cheated by the penalty decision and
die referee had favoured Velez
throughout the game.

Fulham were billed in the

on with long balls to
n, the former Aston Villa

left wing who. has been posing
problems to second division full
backs since the* Welsh side began
its mini-revival. Fulham’s Cut-
bush Was dearly in a quandary as
Anderson took him at will. So
Muliery sauntered over to take
personal charge—and was spoken
to sternly by Mr Yeates for query¬
ing with large gestures bis alleged
trip as Anderson sped towards the
box.

But perhaps Cardiff’s bofld up
played too predictably to this wing
and Fulham’s central defence, mar¬
shalled expertly by Moore and
Lacy; their 6ft 3in -centre half,
absorbed crosses with time enough
to play themselves oat of trouble.
Bat the game settled into stalemate
with a first genuine chance falling
to Cardiff’s Showers, a vastly im¬
proved striker, after 27 minutes
from the sweetest of left foot
crosses . from . Finnieston. But
Slough raced back to prevent the
coup de grace.

The first save for the two goal¬
keepers feu. to Cardiff's Irwin 10
xnhmtes later, with a point-blank
punch away from Jim Conway’s
header and on halftime it was
Buchanan, who slipped one of Ful¬
ham’s England immortals to fire in
Cardiff’s first shot at Mellor.

Fifteen minutes into the second
half, Mr Andrews must have feft
that one, if not two, points were
supping away. So off came Fiiraies-
ton, with Buchanan qjovrng up in
Ms place and Vincent came on in
a bid for greater creativity in
midfield. Muliery moved up to
mark him, but chances now fell
to Cardiff. Showers just failed to
connect from Anderson's centre
and when he fell heavily after an
elegant nudge from Moore there
were satirical whistles from an
8,000 crowd who remembered
Moore's greater days

The last quarter saw Fulham
moving up with greater abandon
and raking through passes for
their two “ fliers ”, John Conway
and Barrett. The resulting shots,
though, were frnstratingly off-
target. And so this undistinguished
game meandered on until they
were all playing in time with
Moore, who strolled off the field

tSoores has played two full

fast ”, said Mr Eastham,
l Gordon Banks will be in
of the Under-23 party,
s plenty to learn still but
' no toiling what he can

do. He has lots of ability and this
will give him a real lift.”

Stoke’s manager, Tony Wadding-
ton, was as delighted as Moores
himself with the selection. “ I’m
not surprised. He’s been on the
fringe of breaking through with
Stoke for some time but we have
introduced him gradually. He is a
big, well-built lad and has plenty
of skill. We have high hopes of
him.”

Mr Revie also goes to Stoke for
his other surprise choice, Hudson.
The former Chelsea midfield man
is one of the two “ over age ”
players now allowed in Under-23
matches. The other is the Ipswich
striker. Why mark and both have
an opportunity to push their claims
for a full international chance.

Hudson has been in both fnll-
international parties this season
without getting into the actual
team. A good performance against
the Scots could earn him his first
full cap and finally erase the mem¬
ory of the international ban which
followed his refusal to go on an
Under-23 tour two years ago.

Queen's Park Rangers’ midfield
man Gerry Frauds, is the only
full international in a powerful
parly which also includes Beattie,
of Ipswich. The powerfully-built
Beattie, robbed of a possible first
full cap by injury in October, will
relish this chance to reestablish
his claim..

With no fuU international to con¬
fuse his selection, Mr Revie has
been able to give a clear Indica¬
tion to his thinking for England’s
future, although club calls have
probably ruled out Greenboff, of
Manchester United. Kennedy, of
Newcastle, and Mills, of Middles¬

Robin Stepney, tfa a Maidstone
manager, is relying on 30 2..

second round opponents Swindon
at the County Ground on Saturday
and plans are already in hand for
a victory celebration.

I have always wanted to play

said “ We have never reached the

Morton said “ Wc are aU very

Newcastle retain

extra time goals

Newcastle Utd 3 Southampton 0

Two goals in extra time enabled
Newcastle United to retain the
Texaco Cup when they beat
Southampton in the second leg of
the final by 3-0 to win by 3-1 on
aggregate having lost 1-0 in the
first leg at the Dell.

Steele, the Southampton defen¬
der. was sent off after eight
minutes of extra time by the
Leicester referee, Gordon HiU,
after bringing down Burns. Steele
had earlier been ” booked ”.

Newcastle’s greatest problem
was to cope with the Channon-
Osgood menace. After S3 minutes
Tudor, the Newcastle forward,
replaced Hudson, making his first
team appearance. Woe annates
later, Tudor, scored after Turner
had pushed out a shot by Mac¬
donald.

After 90 minutes with the score
overall at 1-1 the match went into
extra time with Newcastle making
all the running. They went ahead
after 113 minutes when Bruce
drove borne from 12 yards. Two
minutes later Canned! made certain
for Newcastle by heading borne a
centre by Tudor. Mills, of South¬
ampton, was also " booked ”.

Mr Robert Keens, the Luton
Town chairman, has resigned. His
place will be taken by the vice-
chairman. Mr Len Hawkins, a 67-
year-old retired hatmaker.

Codd gets
half

his side’s
score

By Peter West
Rugby Correspondent
Middlesex 32 Hampshire 6

Middlesex, though mi s ri o g
Ralston and Ripley up front, com¬
fortably assured themselves of a
further interest in the South
Eastern group of the county
championship when they beat
Hampshire at Richmond yester¬
day by three goals, two penalty
goals and two tries to two penalty
goals. Their full back, Good, got
the first try himself, and kicked
all their goals and was thus

responsible for 16 of the points.

A triple tie at the top now
involves a couple of play-off games
to decide die regional champions.
The draw, judiciously made in
advance against this possibility,
gives Eastern Counties a bye and
the necessity, then, of playing the
winners between Surrey and
Middlesex. The first g ame will be
played on Surrey territory next
Wednesday, the second probably
on January S. A decision whether
Surrey and Middlesex meet under
floodlights is expected today,
Thursday. Since both these teams
have already played Eastern
Counties away, one or the other
wifi play the decisive one at home.

Hampshire are a raw-looking
side and, from the moment early
on when Middlesex missed out a
centre and a yawning gap opened
up for Codd to score his try,
their defence was always suspect.
By the last quarter it was coming
apart at the seams, policeman
Tiddy (a Cornlshman) was pound¬
ing a swift and powerful boat on
the right wing, and forwards and
backs alike were enjoying a series
of relaxed attacks.

The Scottish national selector,
George Thomson, having watched
Tuesday’s University match, now
observed, among others, the per¬
formances of Friell and Birkett in
the Middlesex centre. He must
have been Impressed by the
strength and the pace of the one
and the stylish running of the
o titer.

Codd failed to convert his own
fry from a not difficult position
down wind but judged the
elements to perfection when waft¬
ing over a penalty goal from tar
out on the right, and just after¬
wards kicked another goal when
Maclean got try No 2 Hral’s kick
was dashingly picked np by
Lavery, who catapulted out of a
tackle to feed Birkett Mackenzie
was np in support and from his
inside pass Maclean supplied the
last thrust. At this point Fryatt
landed an- excellent penalty goal
for Hampshire and then, return¬
ing to his position at full back,
somehow contrived to twist an
ankle—a mishap that obliged his
eventual retirement in toe last
quarter.

Middlesex looked to have
scored again when Birkett
dummied ms way over toe line,
but he lost control at the critical
moment. Codd then kicked
another penalty goal from in front
of tbe posts and Middlesex
turned round 16—3 to toe
good. • Heal and Pickering
launched the third Middlesex try,
Tiddy's strength lending useful
impetus and change of direction,
and Heal sent in Badow on a
curving run that ended close to
the posts.

Fryatt kicked another penalty.
Ham brook made a rare Hampshire
break in midfi eld, where u pon
Kidout with a blind side break
launched a 75 yard movement
involving Wright, Barlow and,
finally, Friell. Fryatt was
replaced by Loveday at flank for¬
ward, Rea moving to the centre
and Hudson to fall back where
he at once brought off a fine
tackle against Tiddy. Heal
narrowly missed a drop shot, and
then Mackenzie and Pickering set
up a rock. Codd came in and
Middlesex spun it down the line
and Birkett took La very’s inside
pass for toe fifth try.

The morale of some players
who, contrary to official advice,
left cosh and valuables in the
dressing rooms was not lifted
afterwards when they found their
possessions bad been rifled during

Hollins scores a try for Eastern Counties during yesterday’s game.

Kent rally thwarted by a late
Eastern Counties penalty goal

By Gordon Allan

Kent 14 Eastern Counties 17

Eastern Counties beat Kent by
a goal, a penalty goal and two
tries to a goal and two tries at
Chatham yesterday. So Counties
have become involved in a three-
wav play-off for the south-eastern
divisional tide to the county rugby
championship. They have been
divisional champions for the last
two years.

On a bright but bitter afternoon
toe standard of play never touched
toe heights. All the same, to one
respect at least, this was a re¬
markable match, because Counties
were 14—0 ahead at half-time and
Kent were level after 27 minutes
of tbe second half. It was left to
Jenkins to gain Counties what they
wanted by the unpopular means of
a penalty. Jenkins and Simmons
nrissed six penalties between them
for Counties in the first half. If
they had kicked a couple instead,
they would have saved their side
a lot of tronble.

Counties, five of whose first
choice backs were down with
influenza, played with a strong
breeze behind them in the first

half and for most of it bad little
difficulty in confining Kent to the
area of their own 25. Their pack
drove a hard bargain and Page
kicked well at their heels. Jones
scored their first try after 15
minutes. He, Hollins and Callum
forced a liueout near the corner,
Terrell burst through almost to
the line, and Jones finished it off.
Jenkins converted.

Page scored Counties' second
try tea minutes later. Counties’
forwards held the ball at a five-
yard scrummage and pushed Kent
remorselessly hack. Then Page
picked up and dived over. Saunders
got their third try in Injury time.
It originated from a set scrummage'
near toe Kent line. Hollins was
held but Page was able to give
Saunders his chance.

The second half might have be¬
longed to a different match. Now
it was Kent who made all tbe
aggressive noises. Cambridge gave
them the impetus they needed with
a cry after 15 minutes. Kent won a
lineout, Cooke opened up Counties*
defence and Cambridge reached
toe corner before toe coverers
could reach him.

BusheU missed a long penalty
for Kent but Edington went over
for a tty soon afterwards, Ander¬
son and Bird having combined well
at close quarters. Bushel! conver¬
ted. And two manures later, to
complete Kent’s purple patch,
Sibley scored in the other corner,
the resuh of another break by
Cooke, supported by Bird. How¬
ever. not long before no-side, Kent
were penalised at a set scrummage
on their 25, almost in line with
the posts, and this time Jenkins
did not miss. Kent deserved better.

Surrey need skill second time round

By Peter Marson

Sussex S Surrey 32

Surrey disposed of Sussex, toe
last of their original opponents in
the south-eastern group of tbe
Rugby Union county champion'
ship, on a fine but bitterly cold
afternoon at Whitemans Green,
Cuckfleld, yesterday. It was a
victory that to effect gave them a
second chance at the group title,
and with it a place to toe semi¬
final round against Lancashire at

Blundell Sands on February 22.

Should Surrey succeed, the
others locked at the head of toe
group—Eastern Counties and
Middlesex, both of whom won their
matches yesterday—will have been
beaten, presumably, by a stronger,
more skilfuL more purposeful and
more resourceful combination
than that which sauntered and
swooned to toe toto air of Sussex
by the sea. Surrey won by three
goals, two tries and two penally
goals to two tries, so there was
uo question that Surrey were the

Yet, it is doubtful if they would
wish to be reminded of this after¬
noon in December. Even if one
were to concede that it was a pain¬
fully cold afternoon and that
handling of a bard, white plastic
coated ball was difficult, too many
players made too many .mistakes.

By half time when Surrey had
laboriously gathered 11 points,
they seemed to be to need of a
boost in some direction, t am not
sure whether Hinton, the captain,
delivered a suitable address, but
I do know that Bob Hiller, a dis¬
tinguished elder statesman iu this
company, fair it necessary to ex¬
plain a few home truths.

Surrey began stylishly with a
good tty by Hooke in the second
minute, and ended on a high note
with two goals and a penalty goal.
Hilier’s influence again made a
considerable difference and he was
the afternoon’s top scorer with
16 points from a tty, two penalty
goals and three conversions. Ham-

tries. The most thrilling of seven
in the afternoon was that by Mere¬
dith who eclipsed another good
one for Sussex by Pope with an
astonishing run of 70 yards down
tbe left wing, in which all toe
while Meredith managed to bold
off a furious challenge by his
pursuers, Hughes and Hooke.

Squash rackets

Group of Pathans may have the last word

By Rex Bellamy

Squash Rackets Correspondent

The field of 64 for toe British
amateur squash rackets champion¬
ships, which begins at Wembley
today, includes players from four
continents and 11 countries. Europe
(32) and Africa (18) provide toe
numerical bulk. But toe final
arguments are likely to rest with
a group of Pathans who all have,
family allegiances with a village
near Peshawar.

If toe seedings work out. toe
lan eight will line up as follows:
Mohibullab v Scott (SA) ; Ay«on
(GB) v SaJeem ; Mashet (SA) v
Muneer; Barrow (SA) v Zaman.
Of toe Pakistani seeds Mobibullah
won last year's final from Zaman
and Muneer has reached toe law
four twice, Saleem once.

No British player has reached
the final since Jonah Barrington
won toe title for the third succes¬
sive season six years ago. But
Philip Ayton. five times in the last
wight, and Michael Corby, runner-
up in Barrington’s last two cham¬

pionships, are iu toe same section
oF toe draw aud should assure toe
home country of a place in the
quarter'final round. One could
even advance a round farther at
the expense of Saleem.

Three of Barrington’s successors.
Hunt, Alaut!din and Nancanrow,
have joined him iu toe professfoua!
ranks. It will be no sarprise If
any or all of the top three seeds
at Wembley, Mohibullab, Zaman
aud Muneer, do the same next
mouth. In contemplating such a
step toev may be embarrassed by a
clash of dates. Pakistan’s amateur
international series with Great

ali-pkty-all tournaments sponsored
by British Caledonian airways
and toe Yellow Dot sports goods
company. An amateur international
or the chance to take a bite at
£12,000 ? The Pathans must choose.

So many leading players have
become professionals that, except
for such big-entry events as the

British open championship, toe
prize money circuit is inevitably
splitting up into separate groups,
though there will be traffic
between them. Meantime the
amateur game is both gaining and
losing ! Gaining in that there is
more scope for up-and-coming
players to achieve prominence, but
losing in that the absence of cele¬
brities reduces toe stature of

THE TIMES THURSDAY DECEMBER. 12 1974

Independent view from Dublin

Back beyond

square one in Ulster’s aim
of power-sharing

Faced with local dissidence, it
is natural for a government to
look for a local solution. Recon¬
ciliation between Unionist and
Nationalist is the immediately
obvious thing to work for in
Northern Ireland, and power-
sharing the immediately obvious
policy approach.

Power-sharing, certainly, is a
splendid policy for London and
Dublin politicians. In urging
reconciliation on Unionist and
Nationalist they can feel they
are on the side of the angels;
because power-sharing is a
policy strictly local in its appli¬
cation, it has the advantage of
minimizing London and Dublin
involvement; and if it breaks

down, it is the local politicians
who will seem to be responsible

It has not proved such a good
policy for the Northern Irish.
Far from the Sunningdale
experiment improving matters
in the North, it has ended up
with northern politics being
more polarized than ever. And,
indeed, it is nothing new for
London policies to rebound in
this way. Since 1968, moderate
Unionist leader after moderate
Unionist leader has been dis¬
credited trying to push through,
at London’s urging, policies
which Unionist voters would not
stomach. It is time to ask
whether there is not something
fundamentally wrong with Lon¬
don's (and indeed Dublin’s;
view of the whole affair.

The vital, immediate ques¬
tion is: “ How can a peaceful
future for the people of North¬
ern Ireland here be ensured?'’
The trouble is that (because of
a natural wish in London and
Dublin to keep the whole nasty
issue at arm’s length?; this is
paraphrased to read : “ What
political institutions are best
for Northern Ireland?”

But the two questions are by
no means the same. The basic
issue of Northern Irish politics
is not about bow the provice
should be ruled, but about
whether the province should be
a separate political unit at all.
Nationalists want Ireland to be
united : Unionists want to keep
it divided. The existence of
Northern Ireland as a separate
unit is evidence of the Union¬
ists' success, at least to date. To
propose power-sharing in
Northern Irish politics as a
means of reconciling Unionist
with Nationalist is rather like
calling together a group who
want to live in a house and a
group who want to pull it down
and suggesting that the quarrel
he resolved bv the two groups
getting together to maintain
the building. It cannot work.

Unionists, as people, would
no doubt be happy to work
alongside Nationalists, as
people; but, as Unionists, they
cannot afford to. To help show
that Unionist can work along¬
side Nationalist is to show that
a united Ireland would work;
and no party can reasonably be
expected to make nonsense of
its basic political tenet.

When Unionists say they
accept power-sharing but not
a Council of Ireland, they are in
fan demonstrating the im¬
possibility of effective power¬
sharing ; for what they are
really saying is that power-
sharing is only possible about
relatively , trivial issues. On
the only important issue—the
constitutional issue—they dare
consent to no tinge of Nationa¬
list involvement.

Regional institutions must be
on the regional loyalty—

Regie
based c

and the only loyalty which iden
tifies itself with Northern Ire¬
land is Protestant Unionism. If
Northern Ireland political in¬
stitutions are to be effective,
they must be based on Protes¬
tant Unionism ; and no one need
be shocked that in the after
math of Sunningdale, moderate-
minded Unionists have turned
away from moderate leaders to¬
wards extreme politicians they
would not normally care for.
At a time of crisis, they were
turning away from leaders who
had nothing to offer but power-
sharing (and consequent dis
order) to men who represented
the only possible source of co¬
herent leadership for Northern
Irish institutions — Protestant
Unionism.

The attempt over the past five
years to get for Nationalists a
share of power in the province's
affairs was vain from the begin¬
ning. We are back where we
started; indeed further .back
still, for the present Unionist
leaders are extreme men who
would never have been chosen
five years ago. No_ Irishman
need ’ be surprised if, in the
aftermath of the Birmingham
horror. British people are in no
mood for concessions to Irish
nationalism; yet the fact of
Irish nationalism remains, ana
as long as the constitution of
Northern Ireland makes no con¬
cessions to its existence, the
IRA will be able to claim a
monopoly of the Irish
nationalist cause, will continue
to get recruits, and will continue
ro plague the people of these
islands.

What can be done? Nothing
ctearlv inside the context of
Northern Irish representative
institutions ; that is to invite dis¬
order. London and Dublin must
accept that the Irish question
cannot be properly dealt with
for so long as they try and deal
wirh it at arm’s length, through
the medium of a hopefully-pliant
Northern Assembly whose mem¬
bers are expected to do what
London and Dublin want them
to do—and to sacrifice their
political lives when things go
wrong. The only meaningful
concession to Irish nationalism
is the creation of an all-Irish
institution with powers however
small, and if such an institution
is ever to be created, it will have
to be done directly by London
and Dublin, without seeking the
consent of Belfast.

But talk of concessions to
Irish nationalism is fanciful at
the moment The real immedi¬
ate need is to get understanding
of the basic facts; that, for
instance, attempts to foster
power-sharing make matters
worse, not better. Further, that ,
the Irish question is not just a :
local sectarian squabble, to be
salved by tinkering with the
province's internal politics.

It also concerns the partition
of die island of Ireland; most
of the tragic loss of life there
has been occurred, not in
Catholic-Protestant violence, but
in the pursuance by the IRA of
what it regards as a war against
the British Crown.

Again, if London will not
integrate the proving in the
United Kingdom, and if there is
not to be an independent Ulster
or a united Ireland, there must
be regional institutions in Bel¬
fast ; and London must stand
over the fact that, if these Insti¬
tutions are to work, they must
be expressions of Protestant
Unionism. When these facts are
digested there will at least be a
realistic basis for policies to
deal with Irish nationalism and
the IRA.

EEC: the terms and the referendum

What the other heads of govern¬
ment of the European Com¬
munity have wanted to know
from Mr Wilson this week is
whether, if they give him the
improved membership terms
demanded, Britain will stay in
the EEC or, at least, whether
the Government will throw its
full weight behind advice to the
British people that they should
vote to stay in, when the now
apparently inescapable referen¬
dum day arrives.

What Mr Wilson, in contrast,
wants from the rest of the EEC
is improved conditions of mem¬
bership, or terms, which trust
to his balanced assertion that he
wants to stay in but will be
advised to let the British people
leave if the terms are not
“right”. Mr Wilson has stuck
firmly to his claim - that die
argument is about the terms and
nothing but the terms, and that
no question of principle is
involved.

Nor, for Mr Wilson, Mr
Callaghan and most of the
Cabinet, is there a question of
principle. But for the majority
of active Labour supporters, and
for the TUC. the basic objection
—from which the renegotiation
of the “ terms ” has been Mr
Wilson’s escape route—is essen¬
tially one concerning the prin¬
ciple of membership. Whatever
improvement in the terms Mr
Wilson and Mr Callaghan can
achieve, the question on which
Mr Benn, Mr Shore and other
anti-marketeers will build their
case in the referendum cam¬
paign will be one of principle—
the principle of sovereignty.

This will be the issue to which
they (and other prominent anti-
EEC campaigners, including Mr
Powell > will direct the attention
of the British people, not to the
terms; it will be foolish for
politicians not to address their
thinking to the likelihood chat
it will be far easier for the
average citizen to make up his
mind on this simple point, in
the light of his. instincts, belief
and (if you like) prejudices,
than to decide by an evaluation

of precisely to what extent the
terms have been significantly
improved and whether such
improvement makes any differ¬
ence to the fundamental
argument.

Theoretically, it is conceivable
that there will be no referendum
and some Conservatives, believe
that the whole question of the
Community will be subsumed
in die economic cataclysm which
they foresee next year, with a
25 per cent or more inflation
rate and the breakdown of the
social conrract. Some argue that
we may yet see Mr Wilson going
to the country at the head of
some son of government. Con¬
servative supported, standing
for responsible economic man¬
agement and membership of the
EEC.

But for practical purposes, it
should be assumed that there
will be a referendum and that
if (which is anything but cer¬
tain) Mr Wilson recommends
" yes ”, Mr Berm, Mr Shore and
Mr Foot will be allowed ro
speak their minds against mem¬
bership on the point of
sovereignty, and to do so from
inside the Government under an
agreement to differ from their
colleagues, on the understand¬
ing that they will accept the
verdict of the British people,
whatever that may be.

Mr Wilson will not find it
easy to defeat such opposition.
Even assuming he gets im¬
proved terms for the British
contribution, to the EEC bud¬
get, and on agriculture, it is
not dear how these, or changes
on any of the other issues being
negotiated, can be represented
as a fundamental answer to the
objection to membership on the
grounds of sovereignty which
is held by those to whom
sovereignty is the major issue.
Whar is more, the argument will
be further confused by an
illogicality which lies at the
heart of the case of those anti-
Marketeers who are in the
Labour Party. Theoretically
(despite the xenophobia which
afflicts very many Labour sup¬
porters, particularly where

Europe is concerned) Labour is
an internationalist party: why
then should ir object :o mem¬
bership of an internationalist
body like the EEC?

Tbe answer that anti-Market
Socialists now give is ihat by
membership of tbe community,
the British people ( would be
surrendering their right to give
or withhold their consent,
through Parliament, to many
basic acts of government. (The
(act that the principle of the
referendum itself undermines
the authority of Parliament is
skated over). Pointing to the
extent to which Ministers al¬
ready find their scope for de¬
cision restricted by law which
is made ir. Brussels, they assert
rhe particular danger of such a
development at a time when the
task of restoring public ccrrsenc
to ihs acts of govtmmer.t is
more essential chan ever before.

There is, however, a counter¬
argument to this objection
which an internationalist-
socialist logically ought to meet.
What if the Community itself
should invent genuinely demo¬
cratic, as well as supra-national
institutions ? What if every
British voter should, eventually,
be able to vote for a genuinely
democratic and elected Euro¬
pean Parliament to which a
“ European Government” was
responsible for that par: of law
which was “ European ” rather
than national ? Can it no: be
argued chat if the assignment
given this week to M Tinde-
mans, rhe Belgium Prime Min¬
ister, to work cut a scheme for
direct elections by 1979 comes
off, this kind of supra-natioo-
alism could become a reality ?

Certainly, the end of the
Counal of Ministers’ unanimity
rule which is the present
guardian of national sover¬
eignty, would only be tolerable
if such a democratic system for
Europe could be crea:ed. How¬
ever, that is something that is
very much in the future, and
the present British Government
has strong reservations about
encouraging the development of
the EEC in so federalist a direc¬

tion. Those who stick upon the
point of sovereignty, therefore,
will assert that any hope of a
genuinely democratic supra¬
national ism in Europe is too far
ahead ro be taken account of
is the present argument. Yet
however one looks at It, the
argument can be made to come
back to tbe question of M sover¬
eignly”—a vague term which
can be used variously to indi¬
cate the “ sovereignty of the
people” and the “sovereignty
of Parliament” and which will
be none the less potent in a
referendum campaign on
account of that ambiguity.

If Mr Wilson has to counter
the argument that we are join¬
ing an institution whose future
development is unforeseeable,
There is perhaps a further escape
route that he could use. If
referenda are to be an instru¬
ment of the British constitution
next year (assuming Parliament
agrees which is by no means yet
certain) why should they not be
employed over future European
Community questions too ? It
would, I suppose, be open to
Mr Wilson to say that, m vot¬
ing “ yes ” to the terms as they
stand now, and to membership
of the Market in its present
shape, the electorate would not
be giving carr-blanche to any
future development which might
subordinate national sovereignty
to supra-national ism.

He could. I suppose, promise
that if M Tindemans" work
leads to firm propositions for
fundamental changes in the
institution of the Community,
the British people would have
the right to pronounce upon
these in a further referendum
when the time comes. The refer¬
endum idea is such a Pandora's
box that who koows where it
might not lead? But however
one looks at it, it is difficult to
escape from the probability that
Mr Wilson will find it very
difficult to keep the voters’
attention on the terms and noth¬
ing but the terms when he puts
the questions to them.

Seeing fair play in the auction room

Public auctions are basically
straightforward affairs but
there are many ways that an
expert can play them to his
advantage. Some of these are
frowned on while others elicit
no more than a knowing wink.
It is, however, entirely new For
national institution to
play ’’ an auction to its advan¬
tage. This is what appears to
have happened in the case of
the Normamon Parmigianino.

Sent for sale at Christie’s on
November 29, it was bought in
at the auction at 26O,OO0gns
with the Louvre as the under¬
bidder. Immediately after the
sale it was announced that the
National Gallery had purchased
the painting privately for an
undisclosed price. The National
Gallery’s interest in die print¬
ing was no secret before the
sale and it is generally
assumed that the reason they
chose not to bid at the auction
itself was due to some prior
arrangement with the Nonnan-
tons.

The gallery is refusing cate¬
gorically to give any details of
the deal. Other bidders and
coUectors interested in the
painting are not surprisingly
angry at this. If the ground
rules for the sale of major
works from English collections
at auction have been changed
those who are likely to be com¬
peting when other works come
up for sale—and wealth tax
could bring many great works
on to the market—would like
to know the terms on which
they are competing.

Professor John Hale, chair¬
man of the trustees of the
National Gallery, comments that
the gallery’s primary responsi¬
bility to the public is to acquire
great paintings for the national
collection. They are entitled to
use the best means available to
do this and there is no reason

why they should lose their ad¬
vantage by talking about it.
Besides if they do not respect
the confidentiality of an agree¬
ment with an owner, other
owners will be discouraged from
approaching the gallery. Patrick
Lyndsay, director of Christie’s
picture department, said desper¬
ately : “ If you knew the details
of die arrangement I am sure

E ou would consider it entirely
onourable.” I am sure people
would—if they knew.

Of the several theories ad¬
vanced on the nature of the
deal, one is particularly impor-

Deleil from the Normamon Parmigianino,

taut in that it could set a prece¬
dent for future auctions. The
tax advantages which accrue
from the sale of a work of art
to a public collection are not
applicable if that work of art is
purchased at a public auction.
The advantages amount to a 25
per cent waiver of such estate
duty and capital gains tax as
are due on the sale price. This
can make a huge difference
where the rate of estate duty is
high. ' The difficulty lies in
establishing a fair valuation of
the work of art; traditionally
auctioneers have been able to

argue that an auction is likely
to bring a new record price level
which will outdistance the
advantages of a negotiated pri¬
vate sale.

It has been suggested that a
private offer before the sale
from the National Gallery,
grossed up to cake account of
rax advantages, was used by the
Xormantons as the auction
reserve, or price below which
the painting would not be sold.
This would certainly be a highly
intelligent method of operation
for other galleries to imitate
in future.

That this was, in fact, tbe deal
is more doubtful. Lord Norman-
ton sold the painting to - his
wife a week before the sale
which appears to rule out any
estate duty advantages that
□tight have been available on
bis own inheritance of the work.
The more modest capital gains
tax advantage would remain.

So theory number two is that
the auction was used as a means
of determining a fair price for
the gallery to pay for the paint¬
ing—they would cap the last
true bid in the auction room.
It is believed that the price
paid by the gallery was around
£250,000; the last bid was
240,000 gns or £252,000. How
high would the National Gallery
have gone ? Patrick. Lyndsay
hastened to assure me after the
sale that any bidder who had
been prepared to pay enough
could have secured the painting
at the auction; the reserve, he
suggested, was only modestly
beyond the buy-in price.

In Paris the national museums
have the right t?o preempt a
work of art at the price offered
by the last auction bidder. Is
this practice now being intro¬
duced in England without any¬
one being told about it?

Sale Room Correspondent

Amid the extraordinary events
of the last few days in Southern
Africa, it is easy, so strong a
force is hope, to forget the
ancient rule that, where tyrants
are concerned, we must pay
attention to their. actions- and
not their words. Mr Vorster
said last month, and subse¬
quently repeated, that "start¬
ling changes ” would be coming
in South Africa within six
months. I am, perfectly pre¬
pared to believe him ex post
facto, but not a minute before;
if he will show us the changes,
we will consider them. And
today, as it happens, I am in
a position to suggest one start¬
ling change to him that could
be carried into effect imme¬
diately, without South Africa
collapsing in ruins, and even
without the housewives of the
more expensive Johannesburg
suburbs being compelled to do
their own washing-up.

I wrote some time ago about
conditions on Robben Island,
where many of South Africa’s
political prisoners arc kept, and
the way in which the authori¬
ties were trying to destroy
these uncomfortable reminders
of the fact that tyranny inevit¬
ably breeds resistance to it.
Nobody who saw Athol Fugard’s
play The Island, when it was
r unn ing in London earlier this
year, trill forget the double-
sided portrait it gave of South
Africa’s most notorious prison
camp; on one side, the des¬
perate need of South Africa to
break or silence the witnesses
against her, and on the other
their refusal to be broken or
silenced.

They do, however, die, a
natural process which is greatly
encouraged by the conditions
on Robben Island. One who
recently obliged the authorities
in this manner was a Mr Julius
Nkumbuzi, who was sentenced to
30 months imprisonment for
the offence of breaking his
“banning’* order: that is, he
stepped outside the magic pent-
acle which the South African
regime inscribes about those
who embarrass it. Nkumbuzi was
confined to certain areas of
Johannesburg, and went out¬
side ; for that alone he was
jailed and. wheo he had a year
of his sentence to go. was trans¬
ferred to Robben Island. He
was soon very seriously ill (it is
not entirely clear whether he
was ill before the transfer, and
if so whether the authorities
sent him to rhe island knowing
of his condition), suffering from
a lung disease which was either
phthisis or lung cancer, and he
was in either case incurable.

The South African Prisons
Act provides for the release,
on compassionate grounds, of
incurably ill prisoners; no dis¬
tinction is made in the legisla¬
tion between political and non¬
political ones, but in practice
the authorities do not release
dying politicals, possibly think¬
ing that, since anyone who
questions the basis of South
African society must be in
league with the devil, it would
not be beyond the capacity of
His Satanic Majesty to raise
them from the dead. Anyway,
Nkumbuzi was not released ; in¬
deed, for some time he was not
even taken to a hospital out¬
side 1 the island, but treated
there. Eventually, however, he
was sent, under guard and with
some other seriously ill
prisoners, to hospital in Cape
Town, but his case was hope¬
less. So he was taken back to
Robben Island, and died there.
Indeed, not only was he re¬
fused the grace of dying among
his own family; when he was
on the point of death he was
taken to an unoccupied part
of the prison, so that be died
Juite alone, without even his
ellow-prisoners to comfort
him.

A further example

of the South African
. ties is provided by d

Now here, as f sav. i

to demonstrate ro th<
that he is willing to k

that he should begin to ;

’s really going on in the world.

Robin_ Young reports on Tues¬
day night’s dramas in Paris:

If, as President Giscard said
at his closing late-night press
conference, that was the last
European summit, then that
might also prove to be the last
such press conference to be so
heavily attended—but I doubt
it. The reporters, starved of
exciting news for two days,
crowded the press centre from
six o'clock on.

The French, partly to be
good hosts and partly in ex¬
pectation of a long wait, had
provided a buffet campagnard
which, boasted 70 varieties of
French cheese, 50 assorted cold
meats by the platterful, and
four wines by the barrel. This
generosity helped contain im¬
patience.

When the French spokesman
arrived to say that “a little
difficulty of translation ” would
bold up the communique for
perhaps another 90 minutes,
journalists set up a chant of

Energie, energie”—in their
opinion the burning issue of
the hour. The unruffled

Frenchman, leaving without
saying a word about energy,
turned back: “At least you do
not seem to lack it”, he ob¬
served.

Giscard spoke quickly and
easily without blowing his own
trumpet as the British leaders
were to do later. He > raised .
one good laugh, by reading the
obfuscating verbiage from the
communique about Britain's
position in the Community.

Soon afterwards Harold Wil¬
son . and James Callaghan,.. at
the British embassy, were giv¬
ing a largely off-the-record
British version of events. Wil¬
son wore a lemon shirt and
pastel blue tie with, his dark
blue suit emphasizing his
sunny mood. The quote about

was the definitive one there

Less equal

Women on American news¬
papers and magazines are Inten¬
sifying their campaign against
what they see as discrimination
against them. On The New York
Times, a group of six women
has taken the paper to court on
behalf, of the 600 women
employees. Similar action is
under way, or has already been
taken, on the Washington Post,
Time, Newsweek and the Cohrm-
bia Broadcasting System, the
largest of the television net¬
works.

In the case of The New York
Times, the complaint is. chai
preference is given to men when

appointments are being made at
home and abroad. Men get bet¬
ter salaries, it is claimed, more
merit increases and more secur¬
ity. Male employees earn on
average nearly £2,000 more than ■
women. There are also depart¬
ments—such as sports, photo¬
graphy and classified advertis¬
ing—in which women have great
difficulty getting jobs.

The legal basis for these
complaints is the Civil Rights
Act of 1964. This provides for a
long series of steps in which
anyone who feels discriminated
against goes first to the New
York City Human Rights Com¬
mission and then on to the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission.

The women on The New York
Times have been through all
this, and have got nowhere, they
say. The paper disagrees. It
introduced an " affirmative
action" programme ” some years
ago, it maintains, and since
then there has been fro discrim¬
ination.

Over-exposed

Considering it is supposed to be
a highly secret organization, the
United States Central Intelli- ■
geoee Agency, is exposed with
remarkable regularity. The
latest person to reveal all the
filthy secrets is Philip Agee,
whose book about his 12 years,
as an agent will be published
next month, entitled Inside the
Compartp: CIA Diary.

This one is supposed to con¬
tain even bigger and filthier
secrets than the others—-the

most recent of which, by
Victor Marchetti, was published
only in September. There are
the usual tales of efforts by the
CIA to have it suppressed. One
of the oddest of these tales was
printed in More, an American
review of journalism.

This maintains that before
Marchetti came to Britain to
launch his own CTA expose, be
was approached by CIA agents
who asked him to steal Agee’s
manuscript from the London
publisher. The article says
Marchetti was told that Agee
was a radical who had “gone
off the deep end” and that it
was Marchetti’s duty as a pat¬
riotic American to steal the
manuscript. He declined, and
instead told Agee (who now
lives in Cornwall) about the
offer.

More also makes much of tbe
fact that eight New York pub¬
lishers declined to buy the
manuscript from- Allen Lane,
who have the world rights. The
American edition will be pub¬
lished in the spring by Straight
Arrow, the publishing division
of RoUing Stone, the radical
periodical The implication is
that the New York publishers
turned the book down on poli¬
tical grounds, but when asked
by More, most of them said they
simply Found it boring.

This I can believe. Although
I have not read the book, a Lon¬
don news agency released some
extracts from it yesterday. It
is full of dull and quite ungrip¬
ping stuff about who was doing
what undercover things to
whom,.mainly in Latin America,

The most exciting incidents
concern some “ inflammatory
plans for revolution” planted
m an Ecuadorean Communist’s

toothpaste tube, and a refer¬
ence to a " hilarious Cuban
embassy chauffeur” who was
a good agent but apparently a
poor driver. But do not buy it
for laughs.

Supplies

Office

aims to promote a full and

fair opportunity for British industry

0S0 was set up in 1973 to help boost business
for Britain in the valuable and growing market
for goods and services for offshore oil and gas.

The offshore business is world-wide. It’s big
business, it means jobs, foreign exchange and
new technological opportunities for Britain.

OSO aims to ensure that:

• British industry knows what operators want.

• offshore operators know what British industry
can supply.

• British industry gets a full opportunity to
supply the operators.

• gaps in the capability of British industry are
identified and filled.

OSO also administers the Offshore Supplies
Interest Relief Grant Scheme which reduces the
cost of credit for the supply of goods and
services by British companies for Jhe UK sector
of the Continental Shel .

For further details please send the coupon to:

John Anderson. Offshore Supplies Office.

How to cut
your offshore
R&Dcosts.

You may not know it, but the Ship and
Marine'Technology Requirements Board is
currently sponsoring a great deal of Research and
Development in many aspects of offshore oil and
gas exploitation and recover,-.

We do this on a jointly-funded basis with
private industry.

This year, for example, we are helping with
studies of important subjects like the movement
of waves and currents, sea bed stability, underwater
arc welding, the dynamic positioning of vessels and
jig stresses.

The only proviso is that the project should
be of relevance to offshore development and lead
to a tangible result at the end.

Next year, if you have a well-thought out
proposal, we could be helping you with yours.

If you would like to know more about
SMTs supporting activities,begin by getting a
free copv of our report for this year.

Wite to: The Department of Industry,
Room 237. Abell House, John Islip Street,

London SW1P4LX, or phone Bettv Fletcher on
01-2113440.

Remember: we have £35 millions to
allocate for next year. You could qualify.

A long queue for cash in 6 Europe’s most beautiful oil capital

by Peter H1U

Mr Charles Jordan is a mer¬
chant banker. Unlike many
of his contemporaries, how¬
ever, he is based nor in the
City of London but in Aber¬
deen, known once as the
granite city but now styling
itself “Europe’s most beau¬
tiful oil capital *.

It is the oil discovered in
huge quantities in the wild
waters of the North Sea
that has regenerated large
tracts of the Scottish east
coast—and Aberdeen in
particular—and that has
attracted Mr Jordan’s com¬
pany, the Charterhouse mer¬
chant banking group, to the
city.

Mr Jordan is in business
to provide and attract capi¬
tal, and in recent months he
has received a steady flow
of callers. Young companies,
most of them less than two
years old (and their exec¬
utives on the youthful side
of 30). have been queueing
up for some of the capital
that he is keen to introduce
into the burgeoning off¬
shore supplies industry. His
problem is, of course, that

bankers tend to look for a
proven five-year financial
record before providing the
cash to give impetus to a
company’s further develop¬
ment.

This level of interest is
but one illustration of the
extent of the complexity
and scale of the offshore
supply i ndustry.

In the middle of last
month the Select Committee
on Science and Technology
in its report on offshore en¬
gineering prefaced its find¬
ings with the words: “ We
have already discovered a
wealth of opportunity for
energetic British industry.
We hope that the Govern¬
ment trill understand the
exciting challenge of the
new territories beneath the
seas around us and
encourage their exploration

for the good of the whole
nation ”,

Even as the report was
being printed Mr Fred
Chate, general manager for
the northern operations of
Shell U K Exploration and
Production, warned a con¬
ference in Aberdeen that
plans made so far for sup¬
porting the oil and gas
exploration and production
operations in the North Sea
were probably inadequate
and would have to be
expanded.

“ We are looking at a
level of exploration effort
that could go on for the
next 10 or IS years and,
concurrently with chat; an
increasing build-up _ is
production effort”, he said.

The scale is enormous
enough already. On the
basis of the most recent
government estimates total
proven reserves of oil
amount to some 1,290 mil¬
lion tons (this figure is
being revised upwards
almost monthly) and the
exploration and develop¬
ment effort involved in
terms of financial require¬
ments is vast One recent
survey calculated that over
the next decade capital
requirements would amount
to some £10,000m—exclud¬
ing exploration in the Celtic
Sea and the area west of
the Shetlands.

Against these figures it is
worth noting that total capi¬
tal expenditure by British
manufacturing industry in
1973 was some £1,900m. It
is now reckoned that the
value of the United King¬
dom offshore market alone
is already £500m a year and
is rising rapidly.

Despite ns slow start, Bri¬
tish industry is now carving
out a much greater share of
supplying and servicing this
huge industry. Although, in
its submission earlier this
year to the select commit¬
tee, the Association of Bri¬
tish Oceanic Industries
noted that business arising

out of the United Kingdom
offshore oil and gas explora¬
tion effort represented only
about 10 per cent of 1 the
present international off¬
shore industry, it is never¬
theless a sizable and growing
proportion.

British industry is already
playing an importance part
in supplying equipment to
the onshore oil industry,
extending from production
platforms and pipes to
valves and compressors.
Earlier this year it was cal¬
culated by {he Department
of Energy that some 55
major- contractors, 800 sub
contractors and 2,000 other
companies were involved in
supplying goods and ser¬
vices to 13 priority offshore
projects.

British-registered compan¬
ies are, in the aggregate,
now estimated to be -supply¬
ing about 50 per cent of all
offshore orders, although
the_ Offshore Supplies Office
in its estimates did not dis¬
close the scale of foreign

subcontracts within its
assessment of business
derived from prime con¬
tracts.

In some directions British
companies are setting the
pace. The lower Clyde ship¬
building group of Scott
Lithgow, for example, is
now -building a series of
advanced compurer-control-
Jed dynamically positioning
drill-snips, while the
Vickers group is filling a
valuable niche in the highly
competitive environment of
seabed engineering.

At a more mundane, but
nevertheless vital, level the
servicing of the offshore oil
and gas industry has deve¬
loped into a prosperous and
profitable activity. The
ports' industry capital in¬
vestment programme re¬
flects the new levels of activ¬
ity in several ports which
until the oil boom were in
decline or static.

Supply boats ply a regu¬
lar service between the

shore bases and the rigs
operating in the stormy
waters of the North Sea.
One recent study indicated-
that there were some 60
supply vessels at present
operating in the North Sea,
and for 1974-75 the number
is projected at 120, with the
figure rising to more than
200 by the end of the present
decade.

These craft keep the rigs
operating, ferrying supplies
which for the continuous
working of a single rig
could involve a daily
average tonnage of about
60.' This will cover, among
other items, fust oiL drilling
mud and- chemicals, steel
casing, cement, food and
water, clothes ana general
stores, it will probably in¬
volve the supply vessel in
between 20 and 30 round
trips in a month.

Generally two supply

ships are required to sup¬
port the activities of one rig
and, with - the pace of
exploration and develop¬
ment quickening, the
number of supply ship
operators is growing stead¬
ily.

At present there are well
over 200 supply ships on
order with shipyards
throughout the world^ with
17 out of the 52 ordered by
European-based owners
being built in British yards.
These represent a useful

,'xtost to . British ship¬
builders- given that the
present cost of such supply
iihips is between £lm and
iL5m each.

The transporting of the
men who operate the rigs is
}argely in the hands of cofn-
oanies operating bescopter
: vertices, dominated by Bri¬
tish Airways Helicopters
ind Bristow Helicopters,
md both the helicopter with
:ts human cargo and the
supply boat with its essen-
iai materials are vital to
±e effective, economic and
efficient operation of the
rigs and platforms.

Recognizing the impor¬
tance of the supply boat to
die North Sea. the Depart¬
ment of Energy has just
commissioned a new study
of supply and demand for
certain types of boats and
ships required for servicing
and maintaining mobile rigs
and fixed platforms. An ear¬
lier investigation indicated
that there could well be. a
shortage of large ocean¬
going tugs required for the
installation of the huge con¬
crete production platforms,
and the latest investigation
will examine this aspect
again.

It will also embrace ves¬
sels involved in towing,
anchor handling, pipe carry¬
ing, general supply, diving
support and seabed core
sampling.

dustry. therefore. the
requirements of the North
Sea in supplies Of both

The risk shadowing our chance
of real prosperity

by C. IVL Woodhouse

It is clear that most British
industrialists, as weil as
politicians, trade unionists
and the general public, have
failed to appreciate the real
influence that offshore
crude oil resources can have
on the United Kingdom
| economy and the standard
of living of everyone. The
level of our future pros¬
perity depends largely on
what happens to tiws oil
after it has been converted
into petroleum chemicals.

The flood of confirmed
finds reported in recent
months has led to revised
estimates between 5,500 mil¬
lion and 10,000 million tons
of recoverable North Sea
crude in the United King¬
dom sector, lasting well into
the next century. Viewed
against current consumption
of approximately 100 mil¬
lion tons a year it is all but
certain that This counnrv
will be self-sufficient in
crude oil and natural gas
within the next five years,
and from the easily 1980s
could become a net
exporter.

However, coo many people
still seem unaware that off¬
shore oil has Changed from
being simply a bonus and
has become somedting that
means Teal prosperity. Even

now they appear to regard
the future availability of
home-produced crude oil as
no more than a means to
maintain our standard of
living. This indeed may well
be the best we can hope for,
unless we have the foresight
to start planning the addi¬
tional manufacturing facili¬
ties which will be needed to
process all the raw
materials which derive from
crude oil.

The history of natural gas
provides a pointer to what
will surely happen with off¬
shore oil. Over the five-year
period from the beginning
of 1968 the United Kingdom
consumption of gas pro¬
duced from all sources
almost doubled. But more
important, as a result of the
discoveries in the North
Sea, the proportion of nat¬
ural gas increased from. 10
per cent to 90 per cent of
the total consumption over
that same period. If -in¬
dustry now hesitates to
make provision for a similar
increase with, offshore oil it
wall be doing «he country a
disservice from which ail
will suffer.

While it is relevant to
mention in passing the pro¬
ved contribution of natural
gas and the speed at which
it has been developed, gas
has a limited value to in¬
dustry, bring used largely
i as a source of energy.
Crude oil is a different mat¬
ter. The matrifar tans pro¬
perties of oil are of great
importance outside energy
uses, and any industrialist
whose vision extends
beyond his backyard fence
should, bane as has target
the cotwearsaan of all the
raw materials col provides
hux> Ensshed goods within
ifafo oo*H*cry*~-finished goods
which range from high pro¬
tein foods to glass fibre car
bodies, from phagmaoeuti-
cais and cosmetics to man¬
made fibre textiles and car¬
pets, and from ndnarogenous
fiordanzers and agricultural
sprays to packaging
materials and detergents.

The effect on
employment

The monetary benefit
which can be derived from
manufacturing and eaqport-

is two or three tunes that
which cao be gamed by
exporting the cbeamcri frac¬
tions, and right to 10 times
greater than sailing oil as
crude.

Nor must sight be lost of
the effect on employment of
converting crude into con¬
sumer products.- Industries
in the United- Kingdom have
technologists capable of
exploiting the -properties of
every oil derivative to the
full. If planning is not
initiated now, by the early
1980s a large number of
people could well be out of
work or on short time, while
a minimal profit -mil be
made from the export of
crude and fractions.

Capacity already exists
for refining between 30 and
40 per cent more crude oil
than w01 be needed to meet
Britain’s total petrol and
fuel oil requirements by
1980-81. So the construction
and plant manufacturing in¬
dustries, by the nature _ of
things, will have to provide
the production capacity
required if Britain is to
lake advantage of the top-
slice of profit wbich can be
derived from processing the
“non-energy” fractions.

• But- to plan, design, build,
equip and staff a new- manu¬
facturing facility and for it

to become fully profitable
takes three to five years,
and 1980 is now only five
years away.

In the past two years the
construction and plant
manufacturing industries
have been afflicted by fluc¬
tuation in demand of a mag¬
nitude that has dwarfed
anything previously

recorded in peace time. It is
accepted generally that
there will be new' upward
trend in a year, or at the
most in two years’ time.

If to this is added a crash
programme, all the more
urgent for having been
delayed, to provide new
manufacturing facilities to
take advantage of the
opportunities offered by off¬
shore oil, then serious over¬
heating in both these indus¬
tries is bound to occur,
occasioning delays, material
and labour shortages and
disproportionately escalating
costs. This is a second rea¬
son why planning must get
under way now, but who
will set the ball rolling ?

Events in the past few
months have clearly shown
that the tBfceHbood of the
Government on its own
being willing or able to un¬
dertake this restructuring of
industry is remote. World¬
wide inflation, high tax¬
ation, price restraint poli¬
cies and resulting cash Sow
problems have severely
weakened industry. The atti¬
tude of the unions appears
to be to recognize only the
short-term situation.

The Government
most lead

However, the Government
must be prepared to give
the lead and to underwrite
some of the risks anrwxhred,
and the Trades Union Con¬
gress must appreciate the
benefits to its members in
saotrmng future finH eanpdoy-
uieut and a rising standard
of Airing. Equally, industry
most be prepared to play its
role as the main creator of

die naition’s wtesftth anrl

standard of Hiring.

When planning a new
production complex; experi¬
ence has shown the necess¬
ity of fanning from the out¬
set a highly rpiairasp*r fnifl y

general asad financial man¬
agers, shop floor staff, plan¬
ners, designers and braiders,
and plant manufacturers. To
plan to take full adv an tage
of offshore oil, a national
team representing the Gov*
emmem,' the Confederation
of British Industry* the

TUC and the building and
plant manufacturing indus¬
tries is urgentfly needed.

This team will need sub¬
stantial executive powers to
formulate poEcy, allocate
financial and other
resources, and ensure that
short-term problems are not
allowed to prejudice the
looger-tezm national strat¬
egy. If on the other hand
the oppotnnmities are
allowed to go by default
and the Government, mana¬
gement and the unions are
content to muddle along
when the end of the balance
of payments problem is in
sight, then the penalty in
terms of the British stand¬
ard of Biting wall be crip¬
pling.

Petroleum International

The North Sea means some¬
thing special to us in
Britain because it will sup.
ply all of our hydrocarbon
energy requirements, give
or take a barrel, by 1980.

To the oil industry, used
though it is to bringing off
ambitious oil production
ventures around the world,
the North Sea also has a
significance. This, climati¬
cally hostile continental

shelf area has become a lad¬
der with rungs of teefanoio*
gicai innovation and deve¬

lopment. The companies
working to get oil and gas
out of the North Sea have
been forced . to climb this
engineering ladder. Formi¬
dable offshore production

costs, the weather, environ¬
mental considerations and
sheer pioneering attitudes
have compelled the industry
to make the technical ascent
or try their luck elsewhere-
Nearly all the international
oil companies have chosen
to stay and persevere.

The North Sea. un¬

equalled for its long periods
of brutal weather, has pre¬
sented the companies with a
vast new oil production en¬
gineering .specifications

i book. Technological inven¬
tion. improvement and com¬
plex cost-a w3 re ness calcula¬
tions have been demanded
from those companies operat¬
ing in the North Sea, as in
no other offshore area in
the world. The arctic
regions, incidentally. are
.setting similarly stringent
technical requirements,

because of the climate; but
the one benefit here is that
they are onshore.

In almost every aspect
connected with exploration
and production the North
Sea has demonstrated its
ability to send designers
and civil and marine
engineers back to their
drawing boards to devise
bigger, stronger and safer
methods of production.

There are three basic
parameters which govern ail
operations off our eastern
coastline: winds, waves, and

seabed conditions. The first
two are irrevocably
entwined. But intimate
knowledge of all three is
essential for the design and
installation of offshore
structures and pipelines.

Before the oil industry
started studying the North
Sea, little was known about
the environment and almost
nothing about the seabed
conditions far offshore.
Granted there was little or
no incentive, apart from the
thirst for knowledge; so the
area had plenty of surprises
in store for the oilmen
when they came to work in
it.

Using weather ships and
daily weather reports from
the drilling rigs, riie oil in¬
dustry is compiling data,
day-by-day, on what wind
speeds, wave heights and
wave forces are being
experienced in many dif¬
ferent areas of the North
Sea. The industry needs to
know so offshore production
platforms can be designed
to withstand the weather.
But the stress analysts want
to know what forces in
design to and the difficulty
is in extrapolating how bad
a storm is likely to be
experienced during the life
of the oilfield. Not ao easy
task, and complicated by
the desire not 10 spend
more money than is necess¬
ary by over-designing.

Steel production per¬
forms are piled into the
seabed, down to about 2S0£r
oeiow the mud line a in the
case of the largest units, and
the engineers have to know
the load-bearing characteris¬
tics of the seabed. Extensive
work is being carried out by
soil mechanics experts,
using new techniques, to
sample the sub-seabed
layers and ro profile the
various thicknesses oE mud.
boulder clay, and sands in
die North Sea.

Driving the huge 54in
diameter piles 230ft into the
seabed has also cailed for
new technology. The world’s
biggest pile hammer has
had to be designed and
built, with a rating of
7,000ft a ib, specially for
the North Sea operations.

When the pile is in place,
new colloidal types of grout
have been developed _ to
ensure the highest possible
steel-to-steel bond strengths
between the pile and tne
pile sleeve on the platform.
For the first time breech¬
block connectors hare been
designed and'built for the
34in diameter piles.

Offshore jacket structures
made of steel contain many
nodes, points at which
several tubular members
meet. The Forties field plat¬
forms for British Petroleum
involved a number of these
nodes which demanded com¬
plicated welding of the
highest order. Now. for the
second two p.stzorzcs. under
construction. BP has rede¬
signed the nodes to give
lower stress concentrations.
The first nodes were fabri¬
cated of szeei with a max¬
imum thickness of 2l:n. and
were heavily stiffened in¬
side. The new r.otie design
makes use of thick walled
sieei. up to Sin thick, end
no interna: ring stiffeners.

The project has involved
many hours of stress analy¬
sis and welding, research,
ai considerable cost, in
seeking the solution ro a
problem which had never
arisen before production
platforms were designed for
the North Sea. Because of
.he excessive stresses across
the grain of the steel a:
these node joints, engineers
have begun to use through-
thickness strength steels for
the first time in this appli¬
cation. Offshore pipeline
laying and protection have
also been technically
advanced by North Sea
operations. The concrete
coating on offshore pipe¬
lines is really a weight coat¬
ing. but concrete mixes
have been specially

designed for the North Sea
which give protection

against violent physical

carnage, perhaps from a.
trawl board or dragging 1
anchor.

A concrete mix devised
by BP Cor its Forties pipe-!
linf»< has high-irapaci resist¬
ance characteristics and _ is
therefore more expensive,

than any previously used on
an offshore pipeline.
Another new. concrete mix
is cn the way which incor¬
porates iron ' ore and mil¬
lions of small steel reinforc¬
ing fibres which ore said to
give a high strength to the
coating.

Because these concrete
coatings are strong and
therefore rigid and because
offshore pipelines have to
follow an S curve when
they are laid from the sea
surface, narrow grooves
have to be cut around the
coating so that it can flex
without cracking. At firsr
these grooves were sawn
with diamond-tipped saws
once the concrete had set.
Now even newer pipeline
technology cuts the groove
with a 'ine jet of water,
while the concrete is still
setting.

Another new piece of off¬
shore pipeline technology
has just had its first rry-out.
This was the mid-point con¬
nexion of the 32:n, 110-mile
Forties pipeline laid from
the shore and from the field
towards the middle. A
welded tie-in of this magni¬
tude had never been
attempted before in 330ft of
water. Considerable prior
engineering studies were in¬
volved and the net result is
that new equipment and
techniques were used for
the first time in the North
Sea.

in the operation the two
ends or the pipeline were
picked up from the sea
floor, welded together, then
lowered back again. This
sounds simple enough, but
before the operation rook
place the relevant loads and
stresses had to be analysed
in great detail aud mucii
new information amassed
about joining pipelines in
deep water. At the join-up,
a welded connexion, half a
mile of coated pipe was
lifted and held off the

seabed. New types of clamps

and ' auxiliary buoyancy

■tanks were built especially-

for the job. °

When production . plat¬
form jackets are piled into
the seabed, the - deck sec¬
tions are later added and
welded on to complete the
structure. The deck sections
are built on land and loaded
out for the sea voyage as -
modules, to be joined up
when in position on the
platform out in the North
Sea.

Heavy production

modules being built have
called for the construction
of the world’s mightiest off¬
shore derrick barges able to
lift 2.000 tons fixed, or up
to 1,300 tons revolving.
These new crane barges
bavc been built with North
Sea operations in mind. But
their hig lift capacities will
be ot great value eventually
in other marine engineering
operations around the
world.

With permanent production
platforms costing so much
there is certainly a case to
he made for suhsea well com¬
pletions in the North Sea.
Four such subsea completion!;
have been in use in the Ekn-
fisk field in Norwegian
waters for some rime, with
great success. More com--
panics wiil undoubtedly use
them as above-sea construc¬
tion costs escalate. Although
these devices are not tech¬
nically new, their use in the
North Sea will fihu their
worldwide sales u boost.

Tropospheric scatter for
radio communications is
being used for the firs: time
outside the mil! rarv by the
oil companies in the North
Sea. This technology means
that eventually the oilfields
could be remotely control¬
led from a shore base with
wells and power plants
being closed or controlled

nderrated at a time when
> a lot of pessimism about

troubles in a single boat
of scrambling into
Jisr lifeboats. The com¬
ic specifically rejects
ionist measures. It

speaks of convergent
not uniform policies, and
s an important endorse-
dc West Germany’s short-
Trogramme to stimulate
and private investment.

s^o recognizes that there are

^as in the development of
: tirutions. Power has been
from the Commission to
iticians but the politicians

have not been able to exercise
their power effectively, partly
because of divergent national
policies but partly because the
machinery cannot cope. Decisions
have been piling up against the
uoors of the Council of Ministers,
many of them trivial but needing
action just the same. The enlarge¬
ment of the Community and
uncertainty over British member¬
ship have also slowed down the
already creaking apparatus. The
communique shows some recogni¬
tion of this by giving greater
latitude to the permanent repre¬
sentatives and reserving only the
most important political problems
for the Council. It also gives a
boost to political development by
promising consultations on
foreign policy, and reaffirming
the need for European elections
—in spite of British reservations.

Against this background of
Community problems Britain’s
demand _ for "fundamental
renegotiation" now looks more
like a niggling nuisance than a
major problem. No one regards
it as either fundamental or
renegotiation. It has become
largely a matter of making
certain adjustments for which a
good case could have been made
out without the threat of with¬
drawal, and for the rest trying
to be as patient as possible with
the British Labour Party. But
now that Mr Wilson has gone as
far as he can towards committing
himself to recommending satis¬
factory terms to the British
people he is getting more
patience and understanding—

Europeans could hardly make
concessions to a government
which would not say whether it
really wanted to stay in or not

Nevertheless, things . could
still go wrong. Tensions and
differences in the Community
could be aggravated by economic
stress over the next few months,
and patience with Britain could
diminish. Even now it is only
by struggling to take a long-term
view and thinking about North
Sea oil that many Europeans can
bring themselves to make any
effort at all to keep Britain in.
A great many of the hopes
attached to British entry have
been dissipated by Britain’s
poor economic and political
performance.

Worse still, the referendum
itself could still go wrong. The
mood of the British people is
uncertain and could be still more
uncertain by next summer. There
is strong opposition to the Com¬
munity in parts of the trade
union movement, and even many
pro-Europeans in the movement
seem afraid to stand up and
defend their views in public.
More widely there is generalized
opposition to governments and
politicians of all parties, and
this could cause either a low
turnout or a big negative vote
directed more against the
government of the day than the
Community but having disastrous
results. The Paris summit should
have strengthened the pro-Euro¬
peans but they still have a
struggle ahead of them and they
will have to fight it with deter¬
mination and intelligence.

policy of freedom of
il expression in adyertis-
not an easy one for a
aper to follow. It is of

- freedom under law ; we
it accept advertisements,
are illegal, either by way

’ tempt or defamation, or

: j other reason. Nor do the
sements appear without
•, consideration of any
^ions of fact that they con-
30ugh we most definitely
put ourselves in the posi-
vouching for the adver-
, its we publish. .
reason that we publish
. advertisements without
restriction is that we
/' that the freedom of the

advertiser is one of the essential
freedoms of the press. The oppo¬
sition of The Times to control of
access to the press by a journal¬
ists’ closed shop is grounded on
the belief that freedom of ex¬
pression must be allowed to all
comers. There must be freedom
for all those with important
things, to say, in the case of
editorial matter, and for those
who can afford to buy the space,
in the case of advertising matter.

Such freedom will often give
offence to other people ; not only
that, it will often give legitimate
offence. A Zionist will be rightly
angry to see his right, to raise
funds attacked , particularly as
-the argument that be should put
Britain first, coming as it does
from those whose prime concern
is not with Britain but with the
Middle East, will seem to him
to be quite unfair. Yet the fact
that/ an advertisement gives
offence is not in itself a reason
• for refusing -to publish it. .

On November 25 We published
a two-page advertisement which.'
consisted of an appeal to the
Soviet Government for the
release of Soviet Jews. This was
unquestionably an advertisement
■which gave offence to the Soviet
Government and to those

Communists in Britain who
Sympathize with or have faith
in the Soviet Government: It
attacked both Russian justice
and the Russian treatment of
Jews in severe terms. Some of
our readers disapproved of that
advertisement on the grounds
that it was likely to create pre¬
judice against the Soviet Union.

As it happens The Times
entirely shares the concern for
the liberation of Russian Jews,
and for freedom for other
oppressed communities - in the
Soviet Union. On the issue of
fund raising we believe that
Zionists—and for that matter all
other law-abiding people —
should be free to raise funds in
the United Kingdom. That is
not, however, the point. The
freedom of the Soviet Jewish
Prisoners Committee to publish
advertisements attacking the
policies of the Soviet Union in
The Times is identical to the
freedom of the Committee for
Justice in the Middle East to
publish advertisements attacking
Zionist policies and . fund
raising. We would be doing no
service to the cause of freedom
if we only published those
advertisements with which we
happened to agree.

E BILL COMES FIRST, THE SCHEME LATER

’ -righ Jenkins, the minister
esponsibility for the arts,
w indicated how he intends
<ceed with legislation to
sh a public lending right
: benefit of authors. In the
iar he will introduce a Bill
nire the right. Supple-
■y legislation will follow
:o declare precisely what
ht consists of.

f .r is an extraordinary way of
. v ding. If Mr Jenkins is not
in the new year with the
of a workable scheme he
J business to initiate any
tion in the matter. The
argument about public
g right for the past few
—- has concerned practicali-
i this matter more than in
egislative approval of the
?Ie must be contingent on
mentis being satisfied that
is a workable way of
udng that principle into
:e.

justice of the claim put
; d on behalf of' authors—
.hey deserve to be paid for
.: brrowing of their books
/ - libraries on top of what
re paid for the purchase .of
J^books 1 by libraries—has
[ -be regarded as self-
fit.'. Evident it may be to
. Jne : well disposed towards
' nire. But self-evident it is
since the same is not
s .id .for all comparable

transactions. Painters who sell
a work to a public collection are
not to be paid so much a
look, nor is it thought that the
manufacturers of motor cars or
sanding machines should receive
more than the purchase price
from firms which hire out those
goods to the public.

Be that as it may, the authors*
claim is conceded because it is
held to be just. It is conceded
not because it is held to be in
the public interest to increase
tbe earnings of authors so that
more and better books may be
available—on the contrary, too
many new books rather than too
few are published, and one would
like to see the evidence that
better books remain unwritten
because of the present level of
earnings. Nor is the claim con¬
ceded because authors, like old
age pensioners or the heads of
large families on low incomes,
form a class adjudged deserving
of public support. The claim, to
repeat, is conceded because its
principle is held to be just.

It follows that an acceptable
scheme must faithfully embody .
the principle which justice is
claiming as its own. The prin¬
ciple, baldly, is that authors are
cheated of their due when- a
library lends their books (or
makes them available for consul¬
tation) without further payment
accruing to them. Th^ only faith¬
ful way of observing that prin-

ciple is by directly relating what
individual authors get out of the
scheme to a reasonably accurate
measurement of the borrowings
of their books. The farther a
scheme departs from that rela¬
tionship the less is the justifica¬
tion for it. To relate authors*
payments to library purchases is
one such departure, and Mr
Jenkins’s rule that popular
authors Shall be remunerated at
a lower rate than unpopular
authors is another. That may be
good socialism, but it contradicts
the principle which it is the
whole purpose of this legislation
to vindicate.

Unfortunately such studies as
have been made show that the
administrative complexity and
cost of directly relating the
public lending right to public
lending are formidable. That
however only underlines the
necessity for Parliament to
satisfy itself that there is a
workable way of translating the
principle into practice before it
passes legislation. A workable
way is one which neither entails
administrative costs dispropor¬
tionate to the sums available for
distribution or to the benefits,
received, nor, in order to avoid
that position, seriously com¬
promises the principle at stake.
Until Mr Jenkins is ready with
a scheme that meets those
requirements he is not ready to
introduce legislation.

British Leyland
and the City

From Mr Roger W. Marsh
Sir, It has been apparent for some
years that British Leyland has been
a sick company. The three-day week,
intermittent strikes, and (he effect
of inflation on cash flow have
obviously gravely affected the com¬
pany. However, the main cause of
British Ley land’s problems basically
has been inadequate management
and the failure to get to grips with
the merging of tbe constituent com¬
panies. 1 consider it a significant
failure on tbe part of some of the
Institutions of the City of London
owning shares in the company, or
acting on behalf of those who do.
that the present management of
British Leyland was allowed to con¬
tinue for so long.

We now seem to be facing another
failure and this time more serious.
British Leyland needs cash of ar
least £50m and probably consider¬
ably more. The Government is pro¬
posing to step in and supply this
cash and presumably will take a
major share of the equity. The
banks, the insurance companies and
others have propped up many
“ fringe banks ” to the tune or
£1,300m. They have provided cash
for equity issues for a major insur¬
ance group such as Commercial
Union, and a major finance house
such as UDT. They have supported
large property groups. Town &
City, helped in the reconstruction
of financial groups like Vavasseur.

Surely support could be found for
British Leyland, a major employer
and a major export earner? I am
not suggesting that support should
be given in any manner other than
a strictly commercial one. I suggest
a fundamental capital reconstruction
takes place with a large cash injec¬
tion. At the same time the manage¬
ment should be changed. If these
things were to happen, perhaps the
City would have every reason to
demonstrate to the world at large
its efficiency and could easily rebut
tbe frequent doubts raised about its
future role.

Yours faithfully,

ROGER W. MARSH,

Forecasts on inflation

From the Director of the National
Institute of Economic and Social
Research

Sir, Dr Thirl wall thinks that the
publication by the National Institute
of a forecast that, on the assumption
of unchanged policies, prices may
rise by 20-25 per cent through next
year, will itself help to accelerate
infla tion. The National Institute has
been publishing explicit price fore¬
casts, at quarterly intervals, for at
least 10 years. Might not the sup¬
pression of This forecast, at this
juncture, lead to the conclusion that
we found the prospect too awful to
conremplate and thus lay us open to
the charge of causing even greater
alarm?

Yours faithfully,

G. D. N. WORSWICK, Director,

From Professor Henry N. Goldstein
Sir, Dr A P. Thirl wall (December
10) suggests that the recent fore¬
cast of a high rate of inflation by
the National Institute of Economic
and Social Research is itself a
potent force making for future
inflation. If he is right, the solution
to England’s • biggest economic
problem is at hand. Tbe National
Institute need only forecast stable
or falling prices . . . and voila!
Since the forecast is self-fulfilling,
moreover, no intellectual dishonesty
is involved.

Britain and Middle East

From Mr John Benjamin Simon
Sir, I have been a reader of your
newspaper for a number of years
and 1 am absolutely shocked by your
advertisement in the edition of
December 11 by the “ Committee for
Justice in the Middle East **. I have
rarely read anything so insinuating,
hypocritical and racially defamatory.

Although I respect your right to
express your views on the Middle
East in your leader columns, I do
not believe you have the same right
to allow such deceitful and false
propaganda to appear on your pages.

The truth is: Britisb money would
remain in Britain if Britain did not
have to pay the Arab nations such
a prohibitive and extortionate price
for its cartel petroleum. Let that
not be forgotten.

I am disgusted.

Yours faithfully,

MPs barred from steelworks

School reading habits

From Mr S. Denerley
Sir, What a funny world we educa¬
tionists inhabit ! A body of experts
has just discovered—no doubt at
somebody’s expense—that the read¬
ing habits of the average schoolboy
are steadily declining. Some months
of research have gone into this;
which might seem strange when any
classroom teacher could have given
the same answer within seconds.

Next year, almost certainly, a simi¬
lar body of experts will discover that
the writing habits have also mysteri¬
ously declined, and start off another
frantic scrabble as to the whys and
wherefores. However, there is pos¬
sibly a consolatory ray of light on
a dark horizon. Television, for econo¬
mic reasons, has been curtailed so
viewing hours will be less.

The average schoolboy may be
seen with a book in bis hand again l
We, too, can play our part by glori¬
fying the “flannelled fools and
muddied oafs’* a lot less, and en¬
couraging those who want to read
and write much more.

Yours sincerely,

From Mr Gtvynfor Evans, Plaid
Cymru MP for Carmarthen
Sir , There has been considerable
discussion in recent years of indus¬
trial democracy, of giving workers
greater responsibility in industry
and more participation in indus¬
trial controL With this background,
when the East Moors Works Coun¬
cil asked my two Plaid Cymru
parliamentary colleagues and my¬
self to pay the steelworks at
Cardiff a visit yesterday (December
5), I assumed that the suggestion
that I should inform Dr Finniston,
chairman of the BSC, of this was
pure protocoL I was astonished to
be told by Dr Finniston that he
could not allow us to go inside the
works. Therefore, when we went
yesterday to Cardiff, although we
were kindly conducted by members
of the management over the neigh¬
bouring Guest Keen and Nenlefold
works, which take at least 80 per
cent of the output of East Moors,
we were not allowed inside the
gates of the latter. Outside, mem¬
bers of the East Moors Works
Council and supporters gave us a
rousing reception.

Dr Finn is ton’s refusal to allow
three MPs to enter works, which
in rhis case are under threat of
closure, raises important questions.
One concerns the rights of those
who work in industry. Tbe invita¬
tion to visit East Moors was exten¬
ded to us by the Works Council
Campaign Committee which repre¬
sents the middle management as
well as those who work on tbe
floor. Js it not fanciful to talk of
workers' participation and res¬
ponsibility when they may not even
invite MPs to leam at first hand
the facts of their industrial life ?

Then there are tbe rights of
elected public representatives such
as MPs in relation to indus¬
tries which are said to be under
public control. Where is the
element of public control in the
steel industry where that is
nationalized ? The GKN works
were not nationalized, but we were
taken through them section by sec¬
tion and afterwards had a long and

cordial discussion with the manage¬
ment. It is in the public sector that
we encounter the greatest secrecy.

Dr Finniston told me that vre could
not enter the East Moors works
because this would introduce party
politics into the situation ! He
strengthened his case by adding that
we were not local constituency MPs,
an argument which presumably
would shut out the Prime Minister.
Is ir not strange chat a Welsh MP
may be allowed to visit a defence
installation, hundreds of miles from
his constituency, where stringent
security conditions prevail, but may
not enter a Welsh nationalized steel¬
works? And that these steelworks
may be entered by visitors from
countries overseas, including coun¬
tries on the other side of the Iron
Curtain, but not by Welsh MPs who
are helping to fight for their life ?

Ten-thousand 1 jobs depend directly
on the interdependent East Moors
and GKN works. Closure of either
would be devastating for Cardiff, tbe
capital city of Wales, and its district.
For Wales this is a national issue.

For us Dr Finniston’* action has
raised in an acute way die issue of
the relationship between national¬
ized industries and the democratic
process. The questions which we are
allowed to ask in Parliament about
nationalized industries are extremely
limited in scope. I was not even
allowed to question a minister about
Dr Finniston’s television statements
about tbe possibility of returning
nationalized steelworks to private
control. The episode is yet another
illustration of die movement of Bri¬
tain towards a corporate state, which
is a consequence of the hugeness and
complexity of the British state.

The moral drawn by nationalists
in Wales is predictable. There most
be radical decentralization of power.
Wales should quickly have her own
steel corporation and a government
and parliament to which it would
be accountable.

Yours faithfully,

GWYNFOR EVANS,

Raising money for clergy stipends

From the Secretary to the Church
Commissioners

Sir, No one would question the
Reverend D. B. Webb’s emphasis
upon the gravity of the financial
situation facing the clergy and the
serious implications which the
current rate of inflation has for
their future (Letters, December 5),
but he is wrong in contending that
few practical suggestions have been
made and that little is heard from
the responsible authorities except
expressions of anxiety.

In the autumn of this year the
average income of an incumbent was
£2,003 per annum, the majority of
their incomes being in the range of
£1,750 to £2^50 per annum. The tar¬
get range, announced by the Church
Commissioners, as Central Stipends
Authority, from April 1975 is £2,100
to £2,500 per annum. Towards this
the Commissioners themselves have
allocated a further sum of £915,000
per annum from April 1, 1975, in
addition to the £8.7m which they
already provide each year co
diocesan stipends funds. It is true
that this extra £915,000 per annum
averages about £70 per annum a
head if divided between tbe total
number of clergymen, but it is quite
wrong to take this arbitrary figure
as a measure of the total increase
which it is expected that clergymen
in general will receive in 1975. As
the letter from Mr Anthony Lloyd
(December 7) demonstrates, the
Central Stipends Authority has much
evidence of the efforts which are
being made in many dioceses and
parishes co provide money for
stipends in addition to sums made
available by the Commissioners.
This year, for example, tbe addi¬
tional £925,000 per annum made
available by the Commissioners
from April 1, 1974, was of itself only
sufficient id increase stipends by
4 per cent, but as a result of pastoral
reorganization and of diocesan and
parochial effort the average income
of incumbents increased in practice
by 10| per cent.

In addition ro his stipend an
incumbent has possession of a house
free of rent, rates and repairs. A
stipend plus a free house is clearly
worth considerably more than tbe
same stipend without _ accommoda¬
tion and in times of inflation the
provision of a benefit in kind is of
increasing value. The major dis¬
advantage is, of course, chat the
clergyman does not possess a bouse
of his own when he retires. This
means that the schemes of the
Church of England Pensions Board
for providing mortgages or rented
accommodation on reasonable terms
with funds provided by the Com¬
missioners must be adequate to help
retired clergymen who have need
of them, and these schemes are

under active review to this end. The
position with regard to working
expenses is that nearly a third of all
incumbents receive reimbursement
in full but it remains true that the
majority still have to meet some part
(sometimes a large part) of these
expenses From their own pockets
and the Authority has emphasized
and will continue to emphasize the
responsibility of parishes in this
matter.

These facts show that although
some progress is being made much
more needs to be done and done
quickly. The fundamental problems
of the remuneration of the clergy
are that many stipends are inade¬
quate because the Church has relied
for too long on inherited endowment
and that there are still too many
unjustifiable differences between tbe
stipends of parochial clergymen be¬
cause these endowments have been
unevenly distributed.

The General Synod has recently
given general approval to the
Endowments and Glebe Measure,
which is designed to give greater
flexibility in the use of endowments
for stipends generally. The Central
Stipends Authority, for its part,
published this year a consultative
document “ The Remuneration of
the Clergy” which it has discussed
in detail with dioceses. Tbe docu¬
ment is now being revised and will
be submitted to the General Synod
in February as a White Paper. Tbe
Synod will be asked to approve the
paper and endorse the specific
proposals which it makes.

These proposals recognize that the
giving of the laity in the parishes
must be the primary source of new
money for stipends, as it is in the
case of other churches, and must
become an increasingly important
part of our stipends system. The
Commissioners will continue tn^pro¬
vide each year as much additional
money for stipends as they can bat
growth in die return on invested
funds cannot be expected to'keep
up with inflation ar its current level.
The Commissioners must also have
regard to their commitments for
clergy pensions and housing. To
these circumstances their recommen¬
dations as Central Stipends Author¬
ity include specific proposals for a
standard definition of income and
for tbe adoption by dioceses of
plans for raising money from the
laity in the parishes which define
both the need and the amount
which a parish is required ro pro¬
vide in the context of a scheme
which is recognized as fair as
between one parish and another.

Planning delays

From the President of the
Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors

Sir, Your leading article (December
6) was right in saying that the
architect who complained of a year's
delay in getting a refusal is far
from being an unfortunate excep¬
tion. Surveyors have been complain¬
ing of these delays for over a quar¬
ter of a century. The late Mr. J. P.
Rhys was complaining of them when
be and I jointly gave an address to
this Institution' in 1950. I strove as
a planning official for 37 years to
cure these delays, which I hate, but
they still occur.

Your leading article went on to
place the main blame by implica¬
tion on the two-tier local govern¬
ment structure, but delays in
deciding planning applications were
endemic long before the two-tier
system (whose disadvantages are
blatant) was strengthened and
applied throughout the country.

Like you I have been pinning
hopes upon Mr George DobtVs
forthcoming report. His interim
report last January was not an un-
mixed reassurance, but he did at
all events say that control is * being
applied to a wider range of matters
and in more detail than is strictly
necessary”. This, I believe, is the
key. Planning authorities have got
to simplify the issues, decide what
really matters, be firm and prompt
on those items, and not expect (or
be expected) to control everybody

and everything beyond that. 1 fear
that councillors and over-zealous
officials are often equally at fault,
but so are the third patty objectors,
the residents’ associations and the
various partisans who all want to
have their say.

In fairness to the planning author
rides, their job is unenviable. Before
deciding they have to consult far and
wide; they try to satisfy an awful
lot of diverse opinions. In deciding
the simpler applications, many of
the authorities have very good
records. It is the contentious cases
that give rise to delay; and the
reason that authorities take a lot
of time over them is only because
they hesitate to give an outright
refusal at the start. Perhaps that
would be better; but by taking time
they sometimes resolve conflicts and
produce a more acceptable decision.

The fact remains that everyone
concerned with land and its use. and
the chartered surveyors who advise
them, are fed up with delayed action
in planning decisions. It is holding
up die effective use of our land.
Surely planning authorities havegot
to be dearer about tbeir objectives
and firmer and quicker in deciding
applications, tiers or no'tiers.

Yours faithfully,

B. J. COLLINS, President,

Academics’ respect
for truth

From Professor J. A. G. Griffith
Sir, Sir Keith Joseph's reply
(December 4) to my challenge
employs a trick, dear to politicians,
which is likely to obscure the truth.

T asked him (November 23) for
some part of the evidence he
claimed existed for his assertion that
a small minority of university
teachers "regards truth as being at
worst irrelevant and at best a poli¬
tical weapon to manipulate the
simple-minded He replied by
saying that I was challenging him to
produce evidence for his assertion
“ that some academics bave lost
their respect for the truth”. He
thus abandoned his specific charge,
replaced it by one almost totally
imprecise. and then produced
examples as evidence of his second
formulation.

1 agree with Mr Conrad Russell
(December 10) and others that Sir
Keith’s examples do not support
this second formulation. But I take
it that even Sir Keith does not
claim they have anything to do with
bis original assertion.

Yours faithfully,

JOHN GRIFFITH,

Professor of Public Law in tbe
University of London,

The Loudon School of Economics

December 10.

From Mr Rupert Wilkinson
Sir, Sir Keith Joseph's letter
(December 4) and the replies to
it do not give a clear picture of
the state of academic freedom at
universities. My own observations
of arts and social studies at Sussex,
a centre of the controversy, may
help.

Dons here enjoy, and largely
exercise, wide freedom in the
variety of reading they give
students. For reasons unexplained,
those who would ban a Huntington,
Eysenck or Moseley in the flesh
have not tried to ban their writings.
In general, however, our teaching
probably tends to the conventional
liberal-to-leftist bias of _ many
university communities, and it is in
this light that the freedom to invite
outside speakers becomes specially
important. It may benefit even the
radical to meet perspectives from
an unfamiliar world. The arguments
made by a minority here for exclud¬
ing * reactionary ” speakers of emi¬
nence have consistently failed to
show precisely whom such exclu¬
sions would benefit, beyond pre¬
venting offence to some university
members.

A student union resolution has
upheld tbe principle of unrestricted
freedom to invite speakers, pro¬
vided the freedom to ask questions
Is also recognized; and last year
an eminent defender of the
Americans in Vie mam was heard
without fuss. Despite all this,
despite tbe demonstrated commit¬
ment of the university’s administra¬
tors to doos* freedom to invite,
many faculty seem to be inhibited
both by their own biases and by
fear of "trouble” from inviting
really controversial, eg, right wing,
speakers. Timidity as much as pre¬
judice is our problem.

Yours faithfully,

Remarriage of divorcees

From Miss Heather Jermer
Sir, I do so hope that the tolerant
view of the Bishop of Southwark
quoted in The Times ou Monday
by Clifford Longley, your Religious
Affairs Correspondent, will spread
to the rest of the clergy.

The Bishop is quoted as saying
that he would “ Support any parish

S ri est who feels in conscience that
e cannot follow the Act of Convo¬
cation of 1956 ”, ie, refuse to marry
in a church anybody who has a
former partner still living.

_ A number of serious minded and
sincere people, particularly young
ones, live together without getting
married because one or both of them
feel chat they might find it impos¬
sible to keep tbeir marriage vows.
In most cases it is the vow ” To for¬
sake all others so long as they both
shall live ” which worries them most.
In other words, if they make a
mistake they are punished for the
rest of their lives.

It has been suggested that these
words might be qualified, left out
or made optional in the marriage
service io the same way as it is now
for a bride to promise whether she
will obey or not.

Human frailty is much more
recognized and allowed for than it
used to be, and allowing for this
particular frailty would stop a lot
of unhappiness.

Yours sincerely,

H EATHER JENNER, Manager.

MCC touring teams

From Lt Col D. M. Prichard
Sir, The injuries and ailments of
the English team in Australia are
in strange contrast to the rugged¬
ness of Lord Harris’s team of 1878-
79. Lord Harris remarked ** I made a
great mistake in bringing out as
many as 12 players to Australia.
They were all so keen to play that
it would have saved me a lot of
bother had I brought 11.”

ioration in the health of the
sfa economy, and parti-
ly as a result of the infla-
estimate by the National
aire of up to 25 per cent
year. The militancy of the
rs has ’ also compounded
worries.

It was being stressedin White¬
hall and the City that the ten¬
dency for sterling ro be phased
out as a vehicle currency for
making oil royalty payments did
nor mean that the Arabs would
necessarily reduce the level at
which they had been investing
in Britain.

However, it will result in a
once-and-for-atifali In the level
of the sterling working balances
held by the oil companies. At the
same time, the knowledge of the
regular oil-company purchases
of pounds for oil royalty
purposes has been an important
psychological prop to the cur¬
rency.

The Arab oil receipts would
no longer come—if other coun¬
tries followed the Saudi example
—to London on a semi-automatic
basis. Moreover, if inflation in
Britain, did reach the more
pessimistic levels forecast, it
would be running substantially
above what many of their
London investments could hope
to yield.

In Vienna yesterday, Mr
Abdul Rahman Al-Atiqi the Ku¬
waiti oil minister, who was
there for the OPEC meeting,
said no basic changes of policy
over oil payments were con¬
templated. The intake of ster¬
ling and dollars depended oa
bis country’s requirements at
any given time, he said.

. In the first six mouths of this
year the oil exporting countries
received over S 8 , 000 m of their
revenues in sterling.

Of this sum about a quarter
was retained in sterling balan¬
ces.

Presumably Mr Denis Healey,
the Chancellor, who yesterday
completed three days of talks
with government officials in
Saudi Arabia, tried to get some
assurances from them that they
would continue to invest their
revenues in London. An agreed
statement was issued in Riyadh
which referred to the talks tak¬
ing place in a “very friendly
and constructive atmosphere”.

One derision taken is for a
joint Saudi-British committee to
meet in Riyadh next February
to discuss details of new
economic and industrial co¬
operation between the two
countries.

Informal meeting: Mr Healey
has invited finance ministers
and the central bank governors
of the EEC countries, together
with tiie EEC Commission, to a
two-day informal meeting in
London on January 7 and 8.

reditors and stock holders,
he committee felt that the
:ome of the _ settlement
ised-on the pricing formula

laid down in the heads of agree¬
ments was surprising in that it
enabled the receiver of an appar¬
ently bankrupt firm to. pay all
creditors in full and to distribute
£26.9m to stockholders".

The Treasury and the Depart¬
ment of Industry draw attention
in the minute to the fact that
on the day on which Rolls-Royce
Lim ited went into receivership,
the Government announced that
it would purchase the aero
engine part of the company, be¬
cause it- considered that it was
essential ih the national interest
that there should be no doubt
as to the continuity of this part
of the company.

"While the Government was
committed to purchase the aero
engine assets of Rolls-Royce
Limited and to achieve this
quickly by' voluntary negoti¬
ation.” the minute goes on,
“the receiver’s duty was to
obtain the best price possible
for the assets.”

It would have been clear to
him, it is suggested, that there
were powerful considerations
which were bound to influence
the Government towards main¬
taining the RB21I project. The
Government’s ability to demand
payment for the incidental
benefits to shareholders and
creditors, it is argued, was cor¬
respondingly weak.

In common with other retailers, turnover and profits were adversely affected by
national conditions at the beginning of the year. However, measures were taken to
meet this situation with the result that trading has now improved and performance in
the second half of this year is expected to equal that in the same period last year.
Subject to unforeseen circumstances, the total dividend should be no less than last
year and adequately covered.

An interim dividend of 1.155p per share will be paid on the 24th January 1975 to
shareholders on the Register at the close of business on 27th December 1974.

Prom Frank Vogl
Washington, Dec 11
Legislative proposals that
will lead to drastic changes in
the United States banking
system are now being finalized
by the Federal Reserve Board.
But they have to be accepted
by the Congress.

Proposals to regulate the
brandies, subsidiaries and affili¬
ates of foreign banks here were
announced by the Fed last
week, but these should be seen
as a part of the total reform
package tbat the Fed is-develop¬
ing.

Such reforms will give the
Fed much greater powers over
American banks and reduce the
powers held by the Compt¬
roller of tiie Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Cor¬
poration (FDIC).

To some extent the reform
planning has been given
increased urgency by Fed
governors due to the collapse
of the United States national
bank of San Diego and the
Franklin National Bank of New
York.

The first insight into what the
Fed is planning was revealed in
a speech to the Institutional
Investors Institute by Mr John
Sheehan, of the Fed’s board of
governors. He favours a cent-
tralized Federal Bank regulatory
structure rfaat will give the
Fed’s board in Washington firm
control over all aspectsjjf mone¬
tary policy and over regulation
and supervision of the entire
United States banking industry.

At the moment the Fed has
the right only to examine fully

Savings ‘ must
not hit tourism ’

Fuel and reading cuts must

not be allowed to affect the
tourist trade, MPs have been
warned by Sir Mark Henig,
chairman of the English Tourist
Board.

“ Unlike the commuter, the
holidaymaker usually has a full
car and can usually justify its
use against the claims of com¬
peting transport”, he told the
all-party roads study group.

“ It would indeed be a serious
matter and a very undesirable
by-product of our energy
restrictions if local economies

the 1,000 state chartered banks
tbat are also Fed members,
while the Comptroller of die
Currency is the chief supervisor
of the 5,000 national registered
banks and the FDIC is the prime
regulator of 8,000 state banks
that are not members of the
Federal Reserve System.

Mr Sheehan pointed out that
one consequence of this divided
power of the banks was the
great d^ay, lasting five mouths, :
in bringing the Franklin situa¬
tion to a conclusion.

He said : “ At a minimum, I
propose that when a problem
bank becomes a borrower from
the Fed’s discount window that
the Fed immediately—by law—
becomes the primary regulator
responsible for working out a
solution.”

He. said the Fed had- the
responsibility to .be lender of
last resort to all banks, but it
did not have the power to
control all banks and this unten¬
able situation , should be
resolved by incorporating tbe
powers oF the FDIC and the
Comptroller’s office into the
Fed system.

Tbe reforming plans go far
beyond this area, however. A
number of Influential Fed board
members would like to see
legislation that directly ties a
bank’s asset and liability growth
to growth in a bank’s basic
capital, as a means of ensuring
that banks pursue responsible
expansion policies.

Some members, including Mr
Sheehan, want the Fed to have
far greater powers over bank
holding companies,

Fisons and ICI, the two

comes only a week after

from Pilkington Bros,

The positive ' side of the

more in the psychological fillip
thar the supporters of replace¬

from ihe ruling that this is a

practice. It is possible, of course,
that the Price Commission could
take the final step to the Lords.

Phoenix Assurance

Increased

provisions

After a string of miserable
third quarter results from the
leaders in the .composite sector,
one would have thought that
the marker would have been
well prepared for the kind of
figures that Phoenix produced
yesterday. Not so, and to be
fair it is not too difficult to see
where market thinking went
awry. As expected, a United
Stales .underwriting loss . of
. £ 1.25m.after nine months repre¬
sents further deterioration on
the June' .30 position—though
not apparently a particularly
large one—while • Australia,
where there is a nine-month
underwriting loss of £L5m, has
'also continued to be a problem
area.

In the Australian case, how¬
ever, the loss is probably
greater than might have been
expected since the third quarter
has produced further significant
provisions to ; deal with the con¬
tinuing high rate of inflation
there. - But the real surprise
is rbe £700,000 underwriting
loss in the home operations.
Phoenix had pointed to in¬
creased provisions against infla¬
tion at- me six-month stage but,
with the group- now taking a
more pessimistic view on the

- likely inflationary trend in 1975.
provisions have been increased
still further. ■ •

As for the 4i per cent down¬
turn-in group premium income
in the third quarter, Phoenix
describes this as a quirk that
largely reflects increased selec¬
tivity in taking new business in
Canada together with currency
: fluctuations. Certainly the post-
September performance of ster-
Jing suggests that things should
be the other way round come
the. year end. Meanwhile.
Phoenix continues to command
a small premium over the sec¬
tor, with a prospective yield of
1,3.7.-per cent at 87p (assuming
a maximum increase) slightly
•below-the prospective average..

When demand

slows

In July, at the time of the pre¬
liminary figures. Magnet Joinery
shares were selling at around
■the 230p mark. Last night after
the: interim they closed 6p
easier at 48p and it.is difficult
to see them holding even this
price given the trading pros¬
pects lying ahead.

Sales growth in the six months
to end August at 12 per cent
was only a quarter that of the
period 12 months earlier.
‘Demand, despite the increase in
depots, has been dropping off
rapidly and, worse, the D-I-Y

trade on which Magnet depends
heavily appears to have been
no exception. An a result the
rate _ of expansion of new
openings (to a total of around
112 by ihe end of the current
financial yean will be substan¬
tially curtailed Ln 1975 uud
what there is will be confined
almost entirely to filling odd
holes ill the trading map.

Tbe drop in timber prices of
around a quarter from their
peak has left pre-tax profits
bearing an unspecified amount
of stock losses in the 18 per
cent fall to £3.16m. Stocks are
currently being reduced with
consequent benefit to liquidity,
but here it is the proposed stock i
appreciation measures, worth
between £l-6m and £1.8m, which
will have the greater influence.

Faced with the prospect of I
pre-tax profits for the year
dropping from £6-99m to around j
the £5m mark, the yield on a I
maximum allowable payout of
S.D per cent offers scant comfort
while a (fully taxed) p/e ratio

the sector.

Lloyds & Scottish

Justifying
its status

It is not hard to see why Lloyds
& Scottish should have been
commanding such a stock mar¬
ket premium over' Mercantile
Credit and United Dominions
Trust. Down by 131 per cent
at the interim, it has finis hed
rhe year only just over 34 per
cent lower and its negligible
exposure in the property world
has ti-feanr none of the crippling
provisions seen elsewhere.

On the funding side it has
had the all-important benefit of
the extra £60m of fixed rate
medium-term finance taken on
with some foresight in 1971-72.
And although the policy has
been to restrict new business,
it has not been such a limiting
factor as it has for the other
independents and Lloyds &
Scottish has been picking up
market share at their expense.
Loans related to the finance
bouses* base fate, moreover, are
upTrom around 30 to some 45
per cent of the total, reflecting
the relative shift within tbe
portfolio from personal to in¬
dustrial finance.

So Lloyds & Scottish has
emerged from an extremely
difficult year relatively un¬
scathed and with its gearing
-still, at modest levels thanks,
in part, to tbe acquisition of
British Relay. Encouraging
though that may be for the
present year, however, the
group is not yet out of the
woods. British Relay’s 20-week
contribution as a. subsidiary last
-year was negligible -and little
enough can be expected this
year since depreciation, policies
are being adjusted on to a more
conservative footing. ;

For rhe present at least the
downswing in short-term inter¬
est rates has gone into reverse
and during the current year
close to half the cheap
medium term loans faU due for
repayment and refunding. But
though Lloyds St Scottish says it
has had no difficulty generating
money market deposits, it ad¬
mits having to pay a margin of
1 or 1 point more over inter¬
bank rates to do so. Not that
any of this detracts from tbe
group’s standing as the most
soundly defensive of the finance
houses, bur it does suggest that
the going is not yet getting
appreciably easier. The yield
of 17.3 per cent with the shares
ar 26p.looks about right.

Final: 1973-74 (1972-73)
Capitalization £26.1m
Pre-tax profits £10.6m (£123m)
Earnings per share 4.8p (7.78p)

Times/Vmve Clicquot Award
for “A Woman in a Man’s
World” is Alice Coleman,
Reader in Geography at King’s

College .London.

'. The award acknowledges her
achievement as the director of
the Land Utilisation Survey of
Britain. Among her prUes is to
be a free trip for two to Rheims,
jn the champagne country.

Last year’s winner was. Stella
BrununeU, managing director
of concrete mixer makers
Benford Limited.

The other finalists this year
were, in alphabetical order.
Eve Bonham, director of auc¬
tioneers and valuers W. & F. C.
Bonham; Daisy Hyams, a direc¬
tor of Tesco (Holdings);
Thelma Stevenson, associate
director Extel Advertising and
PR Services ; Julie Strain, man¬
ager of fork lift division of
Greenbam (Plant Hire) ; and
Connie Taylor, chairman of
steel stockholders Hall Brothers
(West Bromwich).

Miss Coleman produced for
next to nothing an epic, 10-year
survey of land use in Great
Britain. This is now being
plundered by all and sundry for
the information it contains.

The big users of the maps
from the survey are government
agencies, the same people wbo
forbade access to the hind
around the Foulness military
base site to ber teams of
volunteer researchers, suggest¬
ing that they 44 guess ” the uses
of the terrain.

A comparison between the
findings of this and prewar
studies has shown that land is
being eaten up much faster than
auybody; thought and has there¬
fore. pointed to the need for
quick action.

The last such survey was
carried out before the war by a
man. Professor Stamp, but Miss
Coleman’s was a much more
sophisticated exercise. Until
recently, even the Civil Service
excluded - ■ women from some
cartographical work in what
were quaintly known as “ repro¬
duction class” Jobs.

Lastly,' British universities
have a poor'record of hiring

women and a worse one for
promoting them to senior
appointments, although the
University of London is thought
to be the best of the bunch.

Pioneering

The new edition of Social Trends
will be tbe last co' be edited by
Muriel Nissel of the Central
Statistical Office. Mrs Nissel is
bowing out to do some pioneer-
ingjwork within the CSO on the
redistribution of income and
wealth, statistics on which are
notoriously difficult to interpret,

Mrs Nissel, chief statistician
at the CSO, has edited all five
editions of the volume, which
has won a wide reputation both
here and abroad. The latest issue
has a social commentary OR the
roles of men and women in
society, which concludes thar
women still have a subordinate
role despite the big social and
demographic changes in Britain
this century.

Mrs Nissel said she did not see
the social commentary as a
labour of love but as a natural
progression. The social commen¬
tary, begun in the third edition,
looked at how social conditions
had changed in Britain gene¬
rally.

• Last year, the commentary
broke down the general analysis
by age and this year it is the
turn of the sexes.

Mrs Nissel’s new work will
be reflected in next year’s issue
of Social Trends r which will also
have a new section on statistics
related to the family. That idea
was first mooted by the Finer
Committee on one-parent fami¬
lies who found ihat statistics on
families- came from so many
different sources that it was
difficult to get an overall view.

Take the adTice of the Professionals,

At a time when many institutions and
Banks are directly involved with developments
in progress or sites for developments, we
offera comprehensive service as Project
Managers to take over the responsibility
for seeing that the project is successfully
completed.

Extracts from the Chairman's Statement

Results for the financial year ended 31st
August 1974 show turnover of
£40.547.000 compared with £27,899,000
for the previous year, an increase of
45.33%. Net profit before tax was
£2.705.692 (1973: £2,238.398) an increase
of 21%.

During the year the group opened eleven
new stores, making a total of 55 stores at
the year end with a total gross area of
860.000 sq ft (1973 634.000 sq ft). During
the current year five stores have already
opened and it is hoped to open at least ten
further stores.

The group's second warehouse at Ashton-in-
Makerfield was opened in October 1973. This
has operated most successfully. It has enabled
us to expand our trading area to include the
Potteries and the Midlands.

The current economic situation has meant that
the housewife has had to become far mare
price conscious and our policy of permanent
discount prices has enabled us to increase our
market share, and the Board are very confident
that this penetration will continue in the current year.

no help to the oil majors in
London. BP closed 5 off at
296p, Bunsah 6p off at 94p,
Shell 4p off at 126p..

On - the troubled industrial
share pitches, a victory for the
miners’ militants wage claimers
against the TUC brought fur¬
ther nervous selling. A weak
Feature was Hawker Sidddey,
finally 12p down at 122p, with
selling on the increase in late
deals. The City is worried by

tbe implications of Government
attitudes towards the group's
decision to cancel or suspend
the HS-146 project.

BLMC shares remained un¬
changed at 6ip, but other motor
trade issues had an uncomfort¬
able session. GKN, a major
supplier to the motor manufac¬
turers, closed 3p off at 94p,
and Tube Investments lost 6p,
.to 120p.

ICI (llSp), Bcccbam (HOp)
and Unilever (160p) all closed
with minor losses. Plessey
weakened to 47p while GEC
(46p) were 6p off after a rise
in profits which still left the
total well below market expec¬
tations.

Compair second
half recovery

After being 11 per cent down
at the interim, profits at Com¬
pair, the compressed air equip¬
ment group, went ahead by 17i
per cent in the second period.
As a result, the year’s pre-tax
figure is 41 pec cent up at
£6.12m, while sales went ahead
25 per cent to £66m. Profits
would have been £301,000
better, too, but for a change in
the basis of stock valuation by
the American subsidiary, Kellog-
A men can. This measure how¬
ever, also reduced the group
tax charge by £155,000.

Compair says chat demand has
slackened in some markets but
overall business continues
“ satisfactory ”, The group
remains “ financially strong"
A final dividend of 2.6 lp a_ share
gross is proposed, making a
total for the year of 4.1p, against
3.68p.

COMPANY MEETING

NORTH ATLANTIC
SECURITIES
CORPORATION

The Twentieth Annual General
Meeting of the Company was
held on December 11, 19*4, tn
London-

The following is an extract from
die Report of the Directors.

Gross revenue for the yew W*
2706,652 which is an increase Of
£138,445 over the previous year.

After deducting majageinear
expenses, debenture interest and
taxation there remains £370,074
available for ordinary share¬
holders which is eq divalent to
2 .lip per share compared with
1.74p per share last year. An
interim dividend of O.Tp per share
was paid in May and the
Directors now recommend a final
dividend of l.lp per share,
making a total of l.Sp per stare,
for the year. A total dividend of
1.6p per share was paid in respect
of last year.

During the course of tbe year it
was decided to reduce further the
level of the U.K. portfolio and
thereby to Create larger cash re¬
sources- Partially as a result of
this policy the overseas proportion
of the invested funds has increased
to 58.4 per ceuc (51 per cent).

Estimates of revenue for the
current year indicate that there
will he little increase, if any, from
the U.K. portfolio. It Is hoped
that dividends from U.S.A. invest¬
ments will continue to show im¬
provement. Tbe interest on the
uninvested funds will depend on
the movement of short-term in¬
terest rates and the timing of any
re-in vestment of the cash re¬
sources. The Directors anticipate
that it will be possible to main¬
tain the dividend at the increased
rate of l.Sp per share.

FINANCIAL NEWS AND MARKET REPORTS

fi

Hardy on the upswing
following poor start

By Fred Wilson

Hire-purchase resiriciions,
the three-day week and controls
on profit margins combined
substantially to lower profits of
Hardy & Co (Furnishers/, the
Newcastle - upon ■ Tyne ■ based
group, in the first quarter.
Although the board took
measures to meet the situation
the first half to August 10 re¬
cords sizable falls in hath
profits and turnover. Brighter
news is that trading has now-
improved and peformance in
the second half is expected to
equal that of the same period
of last year.

Group trading profits after
depreciation and interest pay¬
able plummeted from £ 1.55m to
£225.000 but, after bringing in

£786.000 from reserves for de¬
ferred profit and unearned
charges, the taxable profit
emerges with a 34 per cent fall
front £3.5m to tlm. Turnover
in the 28-week period declined
from £ 14.8m to £ 12.5m. and
earnings per ordinary and U A"
ordinary share from 3.4p to
Z2p. The interim dividend is
up from 165p to 2-3p- The
board says the total dividend
should he no less than last
year's 4.13p, and adequately
covered.

Meanwhile stocks at August
10 totalled £ 2.79m against
£2.89m and debtors on hires
purchase agreements and
amounts due from customers
£14.76m (£16m'>. The bank over¬
draft has been cut from £2.67m
a year ago to £ 1.57m.

Gallaher
forecast
up by £lm

A_ late upward revision of its
profit forecast For this year
frem E32m to E33m has been
made by Gallaher, the United
Kingdom tobacco group which
is a subsidiary of American
Brands. This cuts the expected
shortfall on last year from
L2.5m to £1.3m.

This higher target emerges
from the forma] document re¬
lating to Brands' offer for the
Gallaher minority and has come
about both from later inform¬
ation now available and because
of a price increase on
Gallaher's tobacco products
which took effect on November
27.

Under the scheme the 20 per
cent of Gallaher shares not al¬
ready owned by Brands will be
cancelled in consideration for a
cash payment of 160p for each
ordinary and 60p for every
preference.

Rio Algom
calls off
Brinco bid

An interesting situation has
now arisen with rhe decision
j of Rio Tinto Zinc Corporation's
j 51 per cent-owned Canadian
! subsidiary, Rio Algom Mines, to
i call off its proposed-merger with
j Brinco. This follows the decline
! In rhe Rio Algom share price
! in line with the ocher Canadian
! mining issues under the bur-
j den of recent changes in both
; federal and provincial royalty
'■ legislation—in some cases re-
I moving the raison d'etre for con-
! tinuing operations.

'■ When the deal was first
. moored, Rio Algom declared it
j would not pay more than S7.30
j far each Brinco share on a share
j exchange basis. In addition it
: stipulated Lt would not offer
■ more than three shares for
; every 10—a condition which
could not be met with its shares
! now trading below S20.
i At the same time, the offer
I made by Brinco to buy in its
own shares for S7.07 cash re¬
mains open until March 31. This
followed upon the nationaliza¬
tion of the Churchill Falls
fLabrador) hydro electric com¬
plex for S160m cash. So many
share holders have elected tn
take up this cption that RTZ
has seen its stake in the re¬
duced Brinco equity rise from
40 to 59 per cent.

It is likely that RTZ will aim
to increase Canadian partici¬
pation in Brinco up to perhaps
rhe 50 per cent which could he
achieved by Brinco making ac¬
quisitions for paper.

Mr D. F. Lyons resigns

“ For personal reasons ” Mr
D. F. Lyons has resigned from
the boards of D. F. Lyons & Co
except from the boards of
Edward Wood & Co. As execu¬
tive chairman of Edward Wood,
Mr Lyons (and associates) aims
at a growth policy with a view
to eventual requotation. He has
severed all connexions with
D. F. Lyons & Co.

Burco Dean
lower, but
profit trend
favourable

Although second half profits
at Burco Dean, the domestic
and industrial equipment and
appliance group, showed a 52
per cent improvement on the
poor first-half results, the full
year's pre-tax profits come to
£1.03m, against last year's
record £1.36ni.

The improved performance
is being maintained and
internal group forecasts are
favourable. In view of economic
uncertainties, forecasting for
rhe full year is not possible,
but the order book is satisfac¬
tory.

Turnover for the year is
ahead from £lQ.7m to £U.7m,
and although net profits are
down from £751,000 to £493,000,
the dividend is raised from
3.75p to 4.24p. Earnings a share
are 7.7p against 11.76p.

The depressed first half
profir of £409.000, against
£666,000, is attributed by the
board to teething during the
launch of the new range of
Eastham Kitchen Furniture.

The second half saw a review
of trading policies and operat¬
ing costs in both the domestic
and industrial divisions, which
enabled a push forward to be
made with greater confidence.

Copper at lowest level since February, 1973

CAST defends
bid terms

While the market has already
given one opinion of the pro¬
posed merger of Selection Trust
and Consolidated African Selec¬
tion Trust by marking down the
value of ST shares to the extent
that the bid is now worth only
73p, compared with the notional
82p on Monday evening, Mr
Chester Beany made it clear
yesterday that CAST really had
little option but to become fully
integrated with ST.

In addition to CAST facing a
decline in its West African in¬
come, Mr Beatty pointed out at
the annual meeting that CAST
had a heavy financing burden
for its share of the development
of the £120m Agnew nickel
mine, and for a further hefty
tranche for the other “ develop¬
ing mine” at Brouiilan in
Quebec. He reiterated, in reply
to questions that he thought the
terms were fair to both parties,
although some shareholders
advocated an all-paper bid on
the basis of one ST for every
four CAST, rather than the
present two-for-nine and 45p
cash.

But ahead of the documents
due in late January, there seems
little reason tn improve the
terms as ST shareholders are
being faced with a drop of
around 80p in asset value, and a
dilution in earnings admittedly
offset by an increase in group
borrowing powers of £22m. On
balance, the proposals must be
regarded the optimum that the
stale bulls of CAST could really
expect.

Although closing above the day’s
lows COPPER prices fell sharply
and cash wire bars (down £11.50
at £555) was at Us lowest level
since February. 1973. The three
months posidon dropped £10.75 to
£575 a metric ton.

During the morning trading in¬
cluded general chart and stop loss
selling but a notable feature were
heavy offerings by an influential
quarter. This latest fall reflects the
continued lack of consumer
demand for marginal supplies in
view of the generally pessimistic
outlook for the international
economy in 1975.

Recent moves by producers to
curtail exports and, in some cases
production, have been unable to
counter-balance the (all in
industrial demand.

Prices steadied somewhat in the
afternoon on light covering in¬
duced by the early tone of the
New York market, weaker sterling
and a lack of follow through to
the early selling.

CONSOLIDATED AFRICAN
SELECTION TRUST

PROPOSED MERGER WITH SELECTION TRUST

Mr. A. Chester Beatty's Address to Shareholders

The 50th Annual General Meeting of Consolidated African Selection Trust Limited
was held on December 11 in London.

Addressing the Meeting, Mr. A. Chester Beatty, the Chairman, said :

Ladies and Gentlemen, as you will have seen
in tbe press yesterday morning the boards of
Selection Trust and CAST have recommended
to the respective shareholders that the two
companies should amalgamate It is envisaged
that the merger should be effecred by means
of a scheme of arrangement under section 206
of the Companies Act 1948 on the basis of two
Selection Trust shares plus forty-five pence in
cash for every nine CAST shares. Full details
of the proposal will be prepared and put
before the shareholders of both companies as
soon as possible.

CAST’S CHANGED ROLE
In my last two statements to you, I referred
to the changed role of CAST following
majority Government participation in the
mines in Ghana and in Sierra Leone and
repeated that as mines are, by their nature,
wasting assets we must expect a decline in our
dividend income from West Africa within the
next few years. I also reminded you that,
in anticipation of such a change, we entered
into an exploration agreement with Selection
Trust in 1963. In the intervening years we
have spent large sums on exploration. As a
result CAST has acquired substantial minority
interests in the South Bay mine in Canada, in
the small mine being brought into production
at Spargoville. In the major nickel prospect at
Agnew in Western Australia and in the
recendv discovered copper-zinc-silver deposit
near Brouiilan Township in northwestern
Quebec, certainly the most significant develop¬
ment in the joint exploration activities of
Selection Trust and CAST since the discovery
of Agnew in 1971.

financial implications

While I must emphasize thar the final
decision has not yet been taken to bring
Agnew into production and that more work
has to be done to confirm the size and
commercial significance of the Brouiilan
deposit, we have been studring the financial
implications for both Selection Trust and
CAST and both boards concluded that the two
companies combined would > be in a stronger
position to finance participations in the
projects For the benefit of all the shareholders.
You will be aware that it is an enormously
costlv business to bring a new mine into pro¬
duction and our circumstances in CAST would

not allow us to follow our relatively large
participation.

As Chairman of both companies I was myself
strongly in favour of a merger because it
provides the best means of ensuring that the
CAST shareholders have an appropriate con¬
tinuing interest in the deposits and mines
towards which CAST has contributed a
considerable sum in risk capital.

But of course we had to ensure that the
arrangement for combining the companies was
handled scrupulously fairly.

Accordingly I am glad to say that two
eminent merchant banks, J. Henry Schroder
Wagg & Co. Limited for CAST and Morgan
Grenfell Sc Co. Limited for Selection Trust,
were able to evolve terms for a merger which
eacb banker has recommended as being fair
to all shareholders and which, subsequently,
the boards of CAST and Selection Trust
accepted and are recommending to tbe
respective shareholders of the two companies.

As recorded in the report of the directors,
CAST was formed just fifty years ago and
with your approval we shall today score a
century of dividends. CAST will remain in
existence as a separate company and will,
I am confident, continue to contribute sub¬
stantially to the income of the Group.

In my annual statement I usually comment
on rhe Company 1 * activities but as you will
shortly be receiving details of the proposed
merger I will not do so today. I shall, of
course, be glad to try to answer any question
on the report and accounts and the review
of interests which are in front of you.

CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE

We are beset on all sides by prophecies of
gloom and doom, economic and social, and with
world-wide inflation. While it is dangerous to
pretend that problems do not exist, I feel that
a surfelr nf such forecasts is a sure recipe for
over-reaction into deep pessimism. We are in
the mining business—metals and minerals are
rhe essentials of industrial society a fact of
which we are all too well aware at this
moment. With a steady nerve and realistic
appreciation f»F the _ difficulties, and with
technical staff both in the fields of mining
exploration and development iu whom 1 have
complete confidence, I believe that the com¬
bined companies are well placed for a very
bright future in the years to come.
